Certified Data Erasure and Shredding

Most modern companies have a strict data security policy in place which details what has to happen when old hardware is released. Old hardware including redundant servers, PCs, telephones and HDD storage has to be handled in a particular way.

At Buy IT Back we offer a range of distinctive services to ensure your data and hardware is handled in a way that suits your policy and you can have full peace of mind that everything has been fully destroyed in keeping with your requirements.

Depending on your company policies we can offer:

  • Data erasure to HMG Infosec5 Enhanced Standard and above for each HDD you supply to use. HMG Infosec 5 or IS5 is the data destruction standard used by the UK government and known officially as the Enhanced Standard.
  • HDD shredding with full certification
  • On-site or off-site data erasure or shredding dependent on your requirements

HDD shredding is always our recommended method of erasure, if there is minimal residual value in your HHD’s and it helps to keep the whole process as cost effective and within budget as possible. We can discuss the processes with you in depth so you have a full grasp of what is happening and to ensure it is entirely in line with your company policy.
