Data security

The data goes, and you have the paper to prove it.

Drives wiped to a real standard. A certificate per device. Damaged ones handled honestly. That's the page.

01 / How we wipe

We wipe to NIST 800-88.

Boring acronym, real spec. It's the standard for properly wiping drives so the data is gone, not just the file pointers.

Hard drives get overwritten and verified. SSDs get a secure-erase command and verified. We check it actually worked before the drive moves on.

No quick reformats. The wipe happens before anything goes anywhere.

02 / What you get

A certificate per drive.

PDF in your inbox within five working days of collection. One row per drive, listing:

01
Manufacturer, model, serial number
Per device
02
Sanitisation method (overwrite / crypto-erase / destruction)
NIST 800-88
03
Date wiped, operator initials, verification status
Signed
04
Outcome (re-used / scrapped / destroyed)
Tracked

That's the document you keep. One page, the lot.

03 / Damaged drives

If we can't read it, we can't wipe it.

Drives turn up dead sometimes. We won't pretend to wipe one we can't read.

Two options: we send it for physical destruction and you get a destruction certificate, or we leave the drive with you to handle. Your call on collection day.

04 / Chain of custody

We list everything on collection.

Every device, with serial number, signed by both of us. You keep a copy.

Stored locked between collection and wipe. Wipe done within five working days. If your IT person wants the detail, just ask.
