Every stored hard drive is a potential data breach waiting to happen. Files that are deleted or reformatted can often be recovered, leaving you exposed to compliance and security risks. Physical shredding ensures your data is permanently destroyed and unrecoverable.
A single overlooked hard drive can expose confidential information.
Relying on ad-hoc or manual processes increases risk.
Your IT team’s time is too valuable to spend on manual destruction.
Without certified proof, compliance failures can harm reputation and revenue.
We make enterprise-level hard drive shredding simple, certified, and compliant. Whether you need on-site shredding or secure off-site processing, we handle every step with full traceability.
We’ll start with a quick call where we map out the project. We’ll pin down your volumes, sites, and compliance needs so the whole plan is laid out before we move a single device.
Our DBS-checked drivers arrive with GPS-tracked, lockable vehicles. Assets are sealed and logged before leaving your site.
We mechanically shred hard drives, SSDs, and data-bearing media into small fragments that meet or exceed BS EN 15713 standards.
Each item is tracked by serial number and issued with a Certificate of Destruction and detailed audit report.
All shredded materials are processed for metal recovery and recycling, supporting zero landfill and carbon reduction goals.
Our process meets ISO 27001, ISO 14001, and BS EN 15713 standards, giving you full assurance that your data is destroyed securely and your business remains fully compliant with GDPR, WEEE, and environmental regulations.
Everything you need for secure, compliant, fully documented hard drive destruction in one complete service:
EN15713 compliant shredding
