Hard Drive Destruction
The threat of identity theft demands that destruction of old media, such as hard drives, CDs, and backup tapes is a fact of life . You're responsible for the proper disposal of sensitive data. Overwriting and degaussing hard drives is not enough. To be sure that all data are irrecoverable, physical destruction of the medium is the only viable choice. Smashing a drive with a sledgehammer or putting it in a hydraulic press is a lot of fun -- until you've done it a dozen times. We offer an alternative - you simply ship your media to us in secured containers, or we pick it up. Either way, we'll put it through an industrial shredder. When it comes out the other side, it will be a pile of tiny pieces to be recycled.
Our method for hard drive destruction utilizes highly effective patent-protected machinery that will shred the hard drive into tiny pieces, rendering the data unrecoverable. Our shredder not only cuts and shreds the hard drives or other electronic media metal but compresses and compacts the media to render it completely unrecoverable. Our shredding process has been verified by an independent third party (National Association for Information Destruction Auditors) as rendering data completely unrecoverable. All residual particles are recycled in full compliance with all local, state and federal regulations.
Our services help our customers be compliant with the following regulations:
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)
Sarbanes-Oxley Act
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA)
Bank Secrecy Act (BSA)
Patriot Act of 2002
Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act
US Safe Harbor Provisions
FDA Security Regulations (21 C.F.R. part 11)

Various state laws
