The hard drive destruction process begins with a careful count and registration of every hard drive or other data carrier submitted to us. We record important details such as serial numbers, brand names, capacities, and product numbers. This ensures that each item can be fully traced and processed in accordance with the highest standards for data destruction.
Destruction certificate
We place great importance on transparency and security. Immediately after the destruction of the hard drive, you receive a comprehensive destruction certificate. This document contains all the detailed information about the destructed data carriers. This guarantees that all hard drives, and the data they contained, have been properly destructed and are inaccessible to unauthorized parties.
Worry-free hard drive destruction
See how we destruct a hard drive. First, relevant details such as the serial number are scanned. This happens immediately in a specially designed registration system – ensuring that we can never lose any records, not even in the event of a power outage. Next, the hard drives are immediately destructed. You can imagine that it is impossible to recover data from the small fragments that remain.
Can you destruct a hard drive yourself?
Thinking about destroying your own hard drive? Some companies consider it, and while there are various methods that might work, it’s not as simple as it seems. DIY destruction can be time-consuming, risky, and unreliable, leaving your sensitive data vulnerable.
Plus, it’s often not even a cost-effective solution. Investing in staff time and specialized equipment can end up costing more than outsourcing to professionals. Why take the risk? With Whale IT Recycling, you get a safe, efficient, and hassle-free solution for permanent data destruction – so you can focus on what really matters without worrying about security.
