As part of Secure Transportation's IT relocation, installation and de/re-rack services we are now able to audit and decommission end of life IT equipment without it even leaving site and create an asset register before completely destroying the data on the hard disk drives using a 2 stage process.
Our 2 stage on site process involves the degaussing and puncturing of the hard disk drive platters which will ensure irreversible data recovery. Although the disk drives are rendered useless we will still securely transport them under sealed conditions to our partners facility where they will be shredded and a certificate of destruction issued. Equipment is finally disposed of under Secure Transportation’s waste carriers license in accordance with the WEEE directive.

Using our Verity Systems SV91m NATO Approved deguasser we will erase the media.
Our HSM StoreEx HDS 150 destroys data carriers completely securely and reliably at security level "H-3 security cut". The data carrier of a conventional 3.5 inch hard drive is divided into at least three parts. |

On Site Puncture of Disk Platters
For very small quantities of HDD's and the cheapest option rather than bringing our shredder to site with a 2 person team would be to degauss and puncture the hard disk drive platters with our Baileigh 3 Ton Arbor Press, custom modified by Secure Transportation Ltd with a 2.5 inch hardened steel spike.
Disk drives could then be securely transported to warehouse where they will be shredded and a proof of destruction certificate issued.
