Because data breaches have become more common, companies are seeking to proactively manage digital data both in their live environment and on retired assets. On-site data destruction is being mandated more frequently today across large and small companies.
SRS not only destroys data on-site we also execute the remaining services including refurbishment, redeployment, resale and recycling. Working with SRS, the leading vendor in the industry, you can rest assured your IT assets will be securely and responsibly managed.
This 2-1/2 minute video highlights how we destroy data on-site.
Data Destruction
Our on-site data destruction services allow clients to witness and verify that data has been destroyed while devices are still in their custody. We inventory and destroy data on retired hard drives and storage media. Trucks equipped with hard drive shredders enable us to shred thousands of drives per day at your office or data center. In the US, our hard drive shredding trucks are NAID AAA certified.
With SRS, you can trust that you are working with an industry leader who will protect your data and your company reputation.
Because sometimes, sensitive data simply cannot leave your business
SRS offers lockable storage bins to secure accumulated hard drives until destruction services are provided. These tamper-proof bins hold hard drives, CDs, DVDs, thumb drives, mobile phones & other data bearing storage devices until collections are sufficient to warrant a SRS technician coming on-site. These secure bins can also be used to transport storage devices to a SRS facility for final processing.
Drive erasure can also reduce risks and costs associated with returning leased equipment.
Erasing instead of destroying the hard drive enables clients to redeploy hard drives internally or resell erased hard drives. A great solution for destroying data and ensuring value recovery.
Returning leased equipment with live data presents security risks during transport. Eliminate these risks and avoid charge backs from leasing companies for hard drive erasure on returned leased equipment.
SRS offers several solutions for erasing data from drives still in laptops, servers, storage area networks (SANs) and network attached storage (NAS). We work with our clients to simplify the return of leased equipment and prevent unnecessary chargebacks. Our services include repair, cosmetic refurbishment, removal of company applied asset tags, data erasure and packing and shipping the leased equipment back to the leasing company.
FOR: Loose magnetic hard drives, backup tapes
Data is destroyed through the use of powerful electromagnetic fields. The magnetic charge renders data unrecoverable. Degaussing is quick and easy.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Effective only for magnetic drives and tapes. Degaussing does not destroy data on solid state hard drives.
FOR: Magnetic hard drives, backup tapes, solid state drives
For small projects (less than 500 drives)
Our hard drive crushers provides a quick and convenient way to destroy small volumes of hard drives.
Any data-bearing media that our clients do not want to reuse or resell is physically destroyed. SRS uses state-of-the-art, high-capacity shredders to destroy all data-bearing media. Our hard drive shredders destroy the entire hard drive, including platters is shredded into small pieces making it impossible to reconstruct the media or data.
Certificates of Data Destruction can be provided, regardless of the service provided – data erasure, degaussing, hard drive shredding and crushing.
Hard drive disposal and data destruction services were provided at nine sites. 5,500 storage devices were destroyed and Certificates of Data Destruction provided.
