Data destruction for businesses: secure, certified and GDPR compliant

Confidential information must remain confidential. At Reuzado, we provide professional data destruction of all your digital storage media, carried out according to certified and auditable processes. Our processes are in line with internationally recognised standards such as ISO 27001, assuring organisations that data is securely and compliantly disposed of.

Whether loose hard disks, complete servers or network equipment: we destroy data safely, transparently and demonstrably. You always receive a official certificate of data destruction, including serial numbers and details per data carrier, so you can also fully account for the process afterwards.

We offer data destruction in three ways:

  • At your location, under supervision
  • In our secure processing facility
  • As part of old IT equipment recycling

How does data destruction work?

Simply deleting or formatting a disk is not enough. Sensitive data often remains partially intact and can be recovered using specialised tools. Only certified data destruction, whether physical or software based, guarantees that your data is truly gone.

In addition, the GDPR sets strict requirements for handling personal data. By working with a certified processing partner, you avoid risks such as data breaches, reputational damage or financial penalties.

1. Register your equipment

Registration is easy via email or phone. Together we'll discuss which data carriers you want destroyed and how you'd like this done.

2. On-site destruction or collection

Depending on your preference, we either visit your location to perform the destruction or collect the equipment for processing. For larger quantities, we offer secure transportation.

3. Registration and processing

All data carriers are carefully registered. Working hard drives, SSDs or tapes are separated and destroyed according to protocol.

4. Physical or software-based destruction

Depending on the device type and your wishes, we either physically destroy the data carriers using industrial shredders or erase the data with certified data wipe software.

5. Certificate and report

After completion, you receive an official certificate of destruction including serial numbers, method and date. This document is suitable for your internal records or external audits.

Our secure approach to data destruction

At Reuzado, you can choose between two trusted methods to permanently destroy your data. Both options are fully certified and include official proof of processing, suitable for internal audits and GDPR compliance.

On-site destruction

We come to your location with our mobile destruction unit. Our specialists remove the data carriers from your systems and destroy them on site while you supervise the process. Physical media such as hard drives or SSDs are shredded on the spot, making the data unrecoverable. This approach is ideal for organisations that want full control and prefer not to transport sensitive equipment.

Destruction at our secure facility

Prefer to outsource the entire process? We collect your data carriers and destroy them at our high-security facility. The devices are dismantled with care and destroyed using industrial-grade shredders. This method is also fully certified and transparent. You receive detailed documentation and official destruction certificates.

Certified software-based data destruction

In some cases, physical destruction is not necessary or desirable. For example, when the device is still relatively new and you wish to reuse or resell it. In such cases, we can safely and thoroughly erase your data using specialised certified software. All data is overwritten multiple times, and the device is restored to factory settings. You will also receive a certificate proving the data was securely wiped.

Sustainable processing of destroyed media and IT equipment

Even after destruction, we keep a tidy overview. We take all destroyed data carriers away for processing according to the applicable environmental standards. Is the data storage still in laptops, servers or other equipment? Then we safely remove these components from the systems before destroying them. Old IT equipment that is no longer usable is disposed of and processed by us sustainably. Reuzado is WEEELABEX-certified, which means that our recycling methods meet the highest standards of environmental protection and responsible disposal.
