Chain of Custody: The “Point of Origin” Protocol
Security starts at your rack, not our dock. We ensure a “Closed-Loop” chain of custody.
On-Site Inventory
Every asset is scanned and serialized at the client site before it moves an inch. This creates a digital twin of the shipment that is tracked in real-time via GPS.Tamper-Evident
Logistics
For high-sensitivity drives, we utilize locked, GPS-monitored containers and dedicated transport vehicles to eliminate “middle-man” exposure.
Software Sanitization: Precision Wiping
For assets destined for remarketing, we utilize industrial-grade software wiping that targets every sector of the storage media.
Multi-Pass Verification
Our software doesn’t just overwrite data; it verifies the wipe. We handle the complexities of modern storage, specifically the “wear leveling” and “over-provisioning” logic of Solid State Drives (SSDs) and NVMe modules that standard wiping tools often miss.
Cryptographic Erasure
For encrypted drives, we leverage the hardware’s native cryptographic erase command to destroy the encryption keys, rendering the data instantly and mathematically unrecoverable.
Physical Destruction
When data is too sensitive to leave the site or the hardware has reached the end of its functional life, we employ physical destruction.
Industrial Shredding
Our heavy-duty shredders reduce drives to uniform, 2mm cross-cut particles, ensuring that no forensic tool—not even a scanning electron microscope—could reconstruct data from the fragments.
Degaussing
For magnetic media (HDDs and tapes), we utilize high-coercivity degaussers that disrupt the magnetic field of the platters, effectively “zeroing out” the data and the servo-tracks required for the drive to even spin.
The Immutable Audit Trail
The end-state of our security process is not just a shredded drive; it is a Certificate of Data Destruction (CoDD).
Serialization Mapping
Every certificate is mapped back to the specific serial number of the asset and the timestamp of destruction.
Compliance Ready
Our documentation provides the “audit-ready” evidence required for HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, and PCI-DSS compliance, giving your legal and IT teams total peace of mind.
