Data Destruction Methods
Data Destruction Done Outside
Data destruction is done off-site. For this, the devices or hard copies would be collected and transported, and sent to the data erasure facility to destroy them into tiny pieces under surveillance.
Data Destruction on Customer's Location
On-site disposal of data is carried out by a professional team who will use a degausser and shredder to destroy the drives and other devices that hold data into small fragments under your supervision.
Destruction of Data in Bulk
Bulk data destruction is ideal for large businesses. First, data is erased using commercial software. Next, all unused storage drives are destroyed and broken into pieces, in bulk using a shredder.
Is the data that has been destroyed still recoverable?
No, the data that is destroyed cannot be recovered. The destruction is done using highly secured and the best data erasure technologies and software to wipe off the data. Later, the hard drives are shredded to get rid of the data permanently. There are no traces of sensitive data that can be retrieved from these discarded devices.
