UK Hard Drive Destruction
XPO IT Services can carry out on and off site hard drive and media destruction, degaussing, data erasure and document shredding at any location in the UK.
We use a hard drive crusher (HDC) which we take onsite to any the UK location to destroy hard drives and other media. The hard drive crusher is portable and runs off a standard 240v outlet. The crusher will drill through the hard drive’s spindles and physically create ripples in the platters making it impossible to recover data.
It can crush between 60-100 hard drives in an hour and is CESG approved and comes with the CESG Claims Tested Mark. Once crushed, the hard drive waste is then securely boxed and taken back to our central office and is put through our hard drive shredder to get the hard drive waste even finer.
We are both ISO 27001 (Information Security Management Standard) and ISO 9001 (Quality Management Standard) registered. Being ISO 27001 registered enables us to bring information security under explicit management control and we are audited every 6 months to make sure we a being compliant at every stage.
With increasing legislation for data protection it is vitally important that you the UK business ensures all data is destroyed and erased from hard drives and associated media.
- The vulnerability of information stored on PC hard drives is a recognised security risk. Unlike other PC data storage media the hard drive always stays with the PC. Every time a PC leaves a company's control all the data and company information will go with it.
- Even if the hard drive breaks down the storage platters will still contain information which could be read once repaired.
