For ITAD, Go Straight to the Source
Unlike many ITAD companies, we own the trucks that show up to your premises. Many ITAD companies outsource their shredding services to us. By using Wisetek, you are going straight to the source.
It can be tempting to think that running consumer-grade hard drive erasure software will be enough to keep your data secure. Unfortunately, this is not the case as consumer tools cannot guarantee 100% data erasure.
The first step in secure data destruction is establishing the best method for the job. Research has shown that a fifth of global enterprises do not differentiate between regular hard drives and solid-state drives when disposing of them. Understanding which method is appropriate for the task is vital to a secure hard drive disposal strategy.
Hard drive shredding does precisely what it the name suggests. Our NSA-approved hard drive shredders are equipped to shred any material down to 10mm, with 2mm possible on request. Shredding is suitable for most storage mediums, particularly magnetic platter-based hard disks. The resulting debris can then be recycled responsibly, ensuring the dangerous materials used in its construction don’t harm the environment. Shredding is one of the less costly methods of total hard drive destruction.
In some cases, shredding may not be deemed adequate, such as in the case of highly classified data, or with solid-state hard drives. For those occasions, there are more destructive services available, such as hard drive disintegration.
As a general rule, the more complete a destruction service is, the more expensive and dangerous the process of destruction is. For example, hard drive melting involves dipping the component in an acid which is highly corrosive and requires the operators to wear protective gear. At Wisetek, we always aim to find the most cost-effective solution for your business while still meeting your data destruction needs.
