Data Destruction and Security Services

Our data destruction processes is well documented and we provide our clients with a fully auditable security framework ensuring full compliance with HIPAA/HITECH, GLB, FACTA, SOX and other data privacy regulations. If hard drives are unable to physically spin and are unable to be wiped by DOD software, the hard drives must be physically shredded, to insure that the data will not be compromised (in such circumstances, there is a small added fee for shredding).

Data Security
Any devices with data (such as hard drives) are removed and wiped/destroyed in strict compliance with Department of Defense standards. All of our data and product destruction services are done in a transparent fashion.

Data Security Standards Dod Wipe-Specific Dod Standards (DOD 5220.22-M and NIST800-88)
Items slated for data destruction are pre-marked and labeled at time of original pick up. Our account manager and drivers identify those items and immediately separate them and move to our “Clean Room” for data destruction, shredding and certification (note: due to their sensitive nature and to assure non-proliferation of private information, hard drives are dealt with to specific standards). Hard drives are collected separately and are secured in a safe location where they are then transported to the clean room to be digitally wiped in strict compliance with D.O.D. standards.

Client Identity Removal
TechWaste Recycling ensures that any client reference on the assets we receive is completely removed and destroyed. This includes client asset tags and other markings. The client identity removal step occurs during the audit phase and is confirmed separately following the testing phase.

Data Erasure
TechWaste Recycling guarantees that all data on all media devices on all assets we receive from our customers will be destroyed. We utilize state-of-the-art data erasure software that is compliant with the most stringent US and international data security standards including: DOD 5220.22-M, NSA, HMG Infosec Standard No: 5,OPNAVINST 5239.1A, and the National Computer Security Centre (NCSC-TG-025). We provide our clients with documented proof of erasure for audit compliance. If there is any failure of the erasure process, media devices are removed and physically shredded within our secure facilities. The media device serial number, shred time and shredder operator name is stored in our asset tracking system.

TechWaste Recycling provides Certificates of Data Erasure and Destruction for each pickup we perform. This document provides client liability protection and certification of full data destruction and compliant recycling by serial number.

Data Security is a major concern for companies and individuals alike in this day and age of mind-boggling technology. Tech Waste Recycling eliminates the risk of any data by providing DOD, NSA, HMG, OPNAVINST and the NCSC (National Computer Security Centre), compliant hard drive erasures. Whether our clients want to reuse their hard drives or recover more value from them we allege to be the best in the industry to provide unparalleled data destruction.

Our data destruction services include:
Hard drive shredding: In hard drive shredding we utilize high security hard disk shredders or disintegrators and destroy the drive physically so that there is no possible way to retrieve data. In other words an ideal solution for computer hardware that cannot be reused, sold or donated. Not only do we make it fast and efficient to get rid of data but we also provide our clients with the security of state of the art facilities, proper documentation of destruction, serial number reporting, asset tag removal, chain of custody documentation and secure real time asset tracking and logistics.

Degaussing: is a process that decreases or eliminates a residue magnetic field. It is a very effective way of destroying the data on a magnetic media. Our specialized degaussing methods also known as erasure, leave the domains in random patterns with no preference to orientation, thereby rendering previous data unrecoverable. It is a very effective method of data destruction when we have to protect the needs of our clients from the banking and financial, military and government, healthcare and medical, education, information technology and any commercial organization with sensitive data.
