Secure data destruction service

Secure Data Destruction

Certified physical destruction of storage media, reported serial number by serial number

Storage media that have reached end of life are physically destroyed so the data cannot be brought back. Drives are broken up with dedicated crushing equipment and left unusable.

The work is reported down to brand, model and serial number, so every device leaving your organisation can be accounted for on paper.

Regulation and certification

  • Periodic destruction

    Turkish Law No. 6698 (KVKK) sets a six-month cycle, which is why organisations usually plan destruction for June and December.

  • Destruction certificate

    A detailed report listing brand, model and serial number is issued together with the certificate.

  • WEEE recycling

    The remains go to a licensed environmental facility and a recycling certificate is issued.

  • Certified management systems

    ISO 9001:2015, ISO/IEC 27001:2013, ISO 14001:2015 and TS EN 15713:2009.

Alternatives

If the device is to be reused or sold, secure data erasure is the better route; if nothing may leave your building, on-site destruction fits better.
