Why Secure Data Destruction Matters

Every piece of tech you have lying around is a liability. Data doesn’t disappear until it’s properly destroyed, and if you’re not in control, you have a compliance risk waiting to surface. That’s why leading enterprises trust Rapid IT to destroy data on-site or off-site securely, completely, and with full proof.

Hidden data = hidden risk

Overlooking just a single hard drive can snowball into a six-figure data breach you didn’t see coming.

Patchy compliance

Inconsistent policies leave you open to GDPR violations.

Debts to your workload

Your team shouldn’t be manually wiping drives.

Legal exposure

Failure to prove destruction can cost contracts and reputation. 

We take every byte seriously, so you don’t have to worry about what’s left behind.

Secure Collection

Our DBS-checked drivers arrive with GPS-tracked, lockable vehicles. Assets are sealed and logged before leaving your site.
