An overview
Certified Data Destruction
Redundant IT equipment holds sensitive and confidential data such as intellectual property, customer lists which may include personally identifiable information, financial records and much more. Your company is at risk of losing customers, employees and its reputation if this data is ever compromised due to improper retirement methods.
Businesses that handle data must be GDPR compliant. Failure to comply with these regulations can be as much as 4% of annual turnover or £17.5 million, whichever is greatest. National IT Disposal guarantees 100% data destruction, with certificates for your records to ensure GDPR compliance.

Data Destruction and Sanitisation Options.
Our Secure Certified Options & Services
Physical Destruction
Our physical data destruction process destroys all data bearing media and devices so that information can never be retrieved or reconstructed.
We provide data destruction certificates and an asset report for all physically destroyed items.
Options Available:
Data bearing media shredding
Shred media into irrecoverable particles
Shreds your data bearing media into small pieces using industrial grade destruction equipment.
Using a Hard Drive as an example, the shredding process completely destroys the drive platters, mechanisms, and the electronic components rendering all data unrecoverable.
We can shred all media into particles from 40mm to 6mm in size depending on your specific needs.

We can shred all media into particles from 40mm to 6mm in size depending on your specific needs.
Data bearing media crushing
Warp, shatter and physically destroy
Data bearing media is destroyed by a high impact hydraulic crusher that delivers 3,400 kilos of force pressure.
Giving the example of a Hard Drive, this force causes the drive platters to completely ripple and fracture the magnetic surfaces, rendering the drive data unrecoverable.
Stored data can never be retrieved after the crushing process is complete.

Something You Don't Understand?
Frequently Asked Questions
Data sanitisation is the process of deliberately, permanently and irreversibly removing or destroying the data stored on a memory device to make it unrecoverable. The Data Sanitisation software verifies that once stored data no longer exists.
A device that has been sanitised has no usable residual data, and even with the assistance of advanced forensic tools, the data will never be recovered.
All Hard Disk Drives (HDD) and Solid State Disks (SSD) are data sanitised using White Canyon overwriting software. White Canyon WipdeDrive is approved for all mechanical drives and is also approved for SSDs.
WipeDrive has received certification from the British National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) Commercial Product Assurance scheme (CPA) for data sanitisation. This certification process involved fifteen months of in-depth testing and evaluation of the WipeDrive software.
A certificate is produced for every successfully erased drive, including the drive’s make, model, and serial number.
Any hard drive that fails the data sanitisation process for any reason is degaussed and physically destroyed on-site at National IT Disposal.
Physical destruction renders storage media completely unusable, this is achieved by shredding or crushing. Physical destruction makes data unreadable by destroying the component on which it is held, ensuring that it cannot be recovered.
