The security of unwanted data held on file by way of magnetic
media, computer hard drives, backup tapes, CD's or floppy drives is controlled by the Data
Protection Act 1998
We employ the ultimate method of destroying data, for highly sensitive information hard drives are
"smelted" in a furnace at 900 degrees. A certificate of complete destruction is then issued as
proof that the hard drives have been physically destroyed.
This service is used by such organisations such as local authorities, schools, colleges and
corporations
where confidential information on hard drives demands the highest level of secure destruction.
Customers may escort their unwanted data to the smelting plant to witness the destruction.
Data Removal
Data held on hard drives is removed or eradicated using approved software and hardware in
accordance with internationally recognised standards.
We can ensure complete due diligence in computer recycling our processes prevent identity
theft and thoroughly hinder all known techniques of hard disk forensic analysis.
Where data is not sensitive and hard drives are not suitable for wiping and reuse, hard drives
are shredded as standard practise.
