DATA DESTRUCTION
Data Destruction In Chicago
A Basic standard practice of Data Destruction consists of either wiping or dismantling for precious metals based on the type and value of the drive. Many customers however prefer optional on/off site services that are are inventoried for their records. We assist with hospital data destruction, bank tape degaussing, fortune 500 hard drive shredding, telecom hard drive wiping, IT companies and more with their Data Destruction Needs.
We recognize that data security is an equally critical part of Responsible Recycling as zero land filling and preventing toxic scrap from illegal export. E-Waste Solutions also offers customers (on request for a small fee) an onsite hard drive perforating or “punching” service and the drives are shredded once returned to the facility. Finally, upon processing your data/media storage equipment your company will receive by mail a ‘Certificate of Destruction’ which applies to the hard drives and other storage media as well as the equipment itself.
*The DoD 5220.22-M sanitization method was originally defined by the US National Industrial Security Program (NISP) in the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM)
