Two ways we destroy your data
We match the right destruction method to your device type, data sensitivity, and compliance requirements — so you're never over- or under-protected.
⚙
Physical hard drive shredding
Hard drives are fed through an industrial shredder, reducing platters to small fragments. The most thorough method — physically impossible to recover data from shredded media.

Certified data wiping
