Onsite Hard Drive Destruction

The most secure destruction of hard drives takes place at the client’s location. Under many state data privacy regulations, the loss of an unencrypted device would trigger a regulatory mandated “Data Breach Notification”. Data Breach notifications are expensive but the resulting bad publicity can be many times more harmful to an organization.  Onsite hard drive destruction completely eliminates this business risk during the disposal process because no data will leave your location intact.

Our Onsite Secure Disposal Process:

Our onsite hard drive destruction team can accommodate your specific needs. While onsite, we can also provide:

• Tape shredding
• IT inventory validation
• Degaussing of hard drives and tape drives
• Data center deinstallation and relocation

Our technicians will advise your team on how to best prepare your assets for destruction and recycling to ensure a fast and seamless experience at our next visit. If needed, we can also leave a container at your location to store your e-waste.

Solid State Drives

Solid state storage devices present a security challenge. Degaussing does not work on SSDs and overwriting is prone to error. Onsite shredding is the most effective method for sanitizing SSD and solid state cards. 

Because of the very small size of solid state circuitry, NIST destruction guidelines require a maximum shred size of 1/2 inches. Back Thru The Future is one of only a very limited number of onsite SSD shredding services that can meet this shred size standard.  Adopting onsite SSD shredding as your universal data destruction process eliminates the technical challenges of sanitizing solid state media. It provides a one-stop solution to all of your data destruction needs.
