Data sanitisation

Disk Wiping
We provide data sanitisation services to all industry sectors, including both onsite and offsite disk wiping services. We use software which is fully compliant with requirements set by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). The NCSC brings together and replaces CESG (the information security arm of GCHQ), the Centre for Cyber Assessment (CCA), Computer Emergency Response Team UK (CERT UK) and the cyber-related responsibilities of the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI).

Our processes ensure that your data is erased under strict and tamper proof conditions, providing you with a full audit trail and peace of mind. Our onsite data sanitisation service allows for assets to be erased without ever leaving your premises for situations where it is not an option. For our offsite data erasure services, disks are scanned and logged before being put into locked boxes and moved via secure transport to a secure facility to be erased. The vehicles used have a tracking service to provide proof of direct transport from customer site to facility. Please contact us for more information. In addition we offer disk shredding for both onsite and offsite disk wiping; more information about these services can be found below.

Disk shredding
Our disk shredding service can be tailored to fit your needs. We provide a mobile disk shredding unit for onsite disk shredding. For offsite disk shredding hard disks are scanned and logged before being placed in secure locked boxes for transport. Drives are sent directly to the facility where they are shredded. The vehicles used have a tracking service to provide proof of direct transport from customer site to facility. We have a variety of particle sizes that we can shred to, with 25mm and 6mm being the most popular. All serial numbers of shredded hard disks are recorded and provided to you to ensure you have the correct documents in place for audits.

Asset recovery
Once your disks have been erased you may choose to sell the hard disks instead of shredding them to recoup the remaining value. We can either make you a direct offer for the drives or work on a sale on consignment basis. For more information about our other Asset Recovery services please see our Asset recovery page.
