Data Destruction Services

We destroy data-bearing media and electronics where physical destruction is required by policy or risk posture. This commonly includes HDDs, SSDs, removable media, tapes, mobile devices, and storage components removed from servers, racks, and networking equipment.

Yes. We provide Certificates of Destruction for media scoped to physical destruction. If a project also includes media sanitization workflows, those outcomes are documented separately under the appropriate sanitization records and certificates.

We confirm scope and handling requirements during assessment, then maintain controlled custody from pickup through final destruction and final disposition reporting. Your documentation package can include records showing what was removed, how it was routed, and, when applicable, the device serial number from which the storage media was removed to support internal governance and vendor oversight.

Choose physical destruction when policy requires irreversible disposition, when media cannot be sanitized as scoped, or when your risk posture calls for eliminating reuse pathways. We can help you confirm the right outcome (sanitize vs destroy) by device class during assessment.

Data destruction focuses on the storage media or data-bearing components inside a device, such as hard drives, SSDs, tapes, flash media, and embedded storage. IT asset destruction applies when the entire device or asset must be physically destroyed with no reuse outcome permitted. CAS can help determine which path fits your policy, compliance requirements, and risk posture.

See IT Asset & Equipment Destruction.

Yes. We regularly handle internal storage components from servers and rack equipment, and we can scope removal and routing for mixed loads. If you have decommission projects that include racks, cabling, and infrastructure removal, we can coordinate around site access and timing.

Yes. Serialized reporting is always included when data destruction services are scoped, for governance programs or audit trail documentation. During assessment we’ll confirm what identifiers you need captured and how you want batch reporting to be structured. We also offer individual Certificates of Destruction, even for very large batches. Detailed per-device documentation, including before-and-after photos and captured identifiers, can be included when scoped.

After destruction routing is completed for the data-bearing components, remaining materials can be routed for responsible downstream recycling where applicable. We can also document disposition outcomes and landfill diversion routing as scoped. If your policy requires irreversible destruction of the entire device rather than only its storage media, see our IT Asset & Equipment Destruction service.

Yes. We support one-time cleanouts and recurring schedules for organizations coordinating refresh cycles, relocations, and multi-site operations. We’ll confirm access requirements, staging plans, and documentation expectations upfront so the program stays consistent.

Stage items in a secure area and separate higher-sensitivity batches if needed. If you have asset tags, serial lists, or internal tracking requirements, share those during assessment so reconciliation and reporting are cleaner.
