On-Site Media Shredding (HDD/Tape/SSD)

Every collection is documented from first touch to final shred. Crews scan or capture serial numbers (HDD/SSD/tape), reconcile counts, and maintain a continuous chain-of-custody record. Our on-site media shredding logs include asset type, quantity, operator, timestamp, and shred size specification. On request, we add photographic evidence and witness signatures. Your Certificate of Destruction (CoD) and environmental summary are issued on completion, giving InfoSec and Compliance an audit-ready pack that maps to GDPR data disposal requirements and supports ISO 27001-adjacent controls. This proof-first workflow shortens internal approvals, speeds audits, and closes risk actions without follow-up.

Our method is engineered for regulated UK sectors: finance, insurance, defence, healthcare, and public bodies. We agree the shred size in advance (e.g., 6–20mm for SSDs, policy-driven sizes for HDDs and LTO/DLT tapes) and validate it on site. DBS-checked operatives follow RAMS, designated access routes, and building etiquette to minimise disruption. We can stage works during silent hours or weekends and operate within security-controlled environments. Because destruction happens on your premises, transit risk is removed and compliance reviewers gain immediate assurance. Result: GDPR-compliant data destruction that is both demonstrably secure and operationally convenient for multi-site estates.

On-site shredding is just the start. We separate data media from device chassis to route non-data components through WEEE-compliant recycling or ITAD value recovery where appropriate. You receive itemised manifests, recycling weights, and ESG-friendly environmental reports that support Scope 3 and sustainability disclosures. For large refresh cycles, we schedule recurring visits under SLA with predictable pricing per media type, reducing backlog and storage liabilities. Need to add secure transport for quarantined assets or warehouse holds? We can combine on-site destruction with secure transportation, warehousing, and quarantine zones, giving you one accountable partner from collection to certificate.
