1 – Why Data Destruction Services?
Our hard drives and other such storage devices usually contain personal and confidential data such as business contracts, customer lists, passwords, credit card numbers and photos.
People should know that a quick format won’t stop their data from falling into the wrong hands because there is always a possibility that an alien entity will end up accessing data by using data recovery software.
Our secure data destruction services will ensure 100% destruction or erasure of your data by helping you prevent identity theft.
2 – What Is The WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directive?
It is a legislation that aims to stop as much e-waste as possible from ending up in landfills by promoting the reuse of WEEE whenever or wherever possible. In simple words, it stops organisations from treating WEEE as ordinary waste.
The WEEE directive requires businesses to implement an IT waste disposal policy that ensures compliance with it.
The disposal process is quite complex; therefore, businesses usually hire professional and secure IT disposal services to carry out the process.
3 – What Are My Secure Data Destruction Options?
Ikonrecycler will erase data from your hard drives while ensuring compliance with the WEEE directive. The certificate of destruction will be provided for each of the following options
Data Degaussing
We use a degaussing machine for eliminating or reducing the magnetically stored information on your hard drives. Our machine will start erasing or neutralising the magnetic data from your hard drives, after we will expose them to its powerful magnetic field.
Data Shredding
Disposing of hard drives is not easy, especially when you don’t have a CPNI approved shredder. We use these shredders to shred your hard drives down to 6mm, as per requirement.
Our process includes scanning serial numbers, which ensures completion of the audit trail. Our secure data destruction process can also be overseen and witnessed in person, if necessary.
Hard Drive Crushing
Our experts will punch an irreparable hole in each of your hard drives with extreme pressure, 3,400 kilos to be exact. This kind of pressure will render the data irretrievable by ensuring the destruction of drive platters.
4 – Get Your Proof of Destruction
We will provide you with certificates of destruction to help you with your audit trail. They will serve you as proof that your business complies with all the data protection laws and your personal or confidential data is no longer at risk.
