Data Destruction Service

Helping you ensure that your data doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

Addressing the Issue

Data Security is a major concern to all organisations and individuals alike. Not only are the risks of criminal damage a worry but of great concern are the legal issues and liability of losing or misusing customers data. There are a number of options available depending on the type of data and the customers’ personal needs. Abtech provides a full range of Data Destruction Services to meet the whole spectrum of customer requirements.

Our Procedure

Depending on your requirements, Abtechs partners use a number of advanced techniques for the safe removal of data from various media types. This includes specialist developed DiskTest software that not only tests the quality of the drive but will remove data via a 'One Write Pass' or to the latest DOD and VSITR standards.

Should a full CESG certified process be required then through Abtech’s partner we can provide full compliance to BS EN15713, PCI-DSS, HMG Information Assurance Standard No. 4 and 5, CESG Certified Claims Test Marked - CCTM and SEAP8100/8200 approved.

Pricing Models

In order to make the process of finding a best-fit solution for your requirements that bit easier, you can choose modules from the below options to tailor the service to fit your exact requirements;

1. Pickup & Delivery or On-Site Destruction

The pickup and delivery service will be carried out only by security cleared employees, using a dedicated vehicle. This will ensure maximum control of security. Staff will show a Photo ID to prove their identity and will sign for collection with a document showing serial numbers. The serial number can either be produced by you or can be generated. Should the media not be allowed to leave site then our partner has the ability to destruct data in one of their purpose built shredding vehicles.

2. Install / De-Install Service

Should the drives be installed in a RAID system and you'd rather not remove the drives from the RAID system and/or drive caddy’s, Abtech can provide this technical service from one of our nationwide storage-centric field engineers.  This service requires that you schedule the required downtime of your system for when an engineer is due on-site.

3. Data Removal – Drive Sanitation
