01 / Data
Secure data destruction
Every drive sanitised to NIST 800-88 or physically destroyed, with a certificate listing every serial number and the method used against each one.
The work
What this service is for.
The equipment is rarely the worry. The data on it is. Every drive that passes through is either sanitised to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 and verified, or physically destroyed if you would rather watch it happen. Either way you receive a certificate listing every device by serial number, issued within one working day of collection rather than the ten working days the national providers publish.
Good fit
When to call.
- 01
Machines have been sitting in a cupboard because nobody is sure what is on them.
- 02
Someone has left and their laptop has become a problem that needs evidencing.
- 03
An auditor, insurer or client has asked for proof of how old equipment was disposed of.
- 04
You need the data gone this week, not in ten working days.
What you get
Paperwork you can hand to somebody else.
The exact scope is agreed before collection. These are the outputs that make the job defensible afterwards, which is the part that matters when someone asks.
- Deliverable 01Signed data processing agreement before any equipment is touched
- Deliverable 02Signed chain-of-custody receipt listing every serial, handed over before I leave
- Deliverable 03Sanitisation to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2, verified, or physical destruction
- Deliverable 04Certificate of data destruction, issued once the work is done and verified
- Deliverable 05Photographic evidence of destruction on request
Expected outcomes
What should be different.
- 01
A receipt at the door, then a certificate you can hand an auditor or insurer
- 02
A chain of custody with one link in it, not five
- 03
The cupboard emptied
However small the job
Tell me what you have and I will tell you what happens to it.
A rough count and a location is enough to give you a straight answer on cost, timing and what the certificate will say.
