Data Destruction for Your Company? Leave It to Reuzado

10 January 2022

What actually happens to your end-of-life hardware and confidential company information? Does it end up in some warehouse, or do you have it professionally removed and destroyed? Of course, the latter is the only right choice! Think of data security (such as GDPR), in-house intelligence, and sustainability. That’s why it’s wise to have certified data destruction performed by Reuzado.

You definitely don’t want your data to fall into the wrong hands. All data carriers in your company—computers, phones, servers, USB sticks—contain data. It’s an important topic to consider even before hardware needs replacement. If your (sensitive) company information is leaked, it could harm your company or your customers. Hello media scandal! Prevent this risk by having your data safely and reliably destroyed by our experienced professionals. We ensure your data is 100% securely wiped using certified data deletion software. If needed or desired, we also provide physical destruction of the data carriers. Moreover, we can perform this process on your own premises.

 

What is Data Destruction?

To understand the importance of data destruction , it’s good to know what it actually entails. Simply put, data destruction is the complete destruction of all information (data) on data carriers. Think of hard drives, printers, phones, tapes, USB sticks, laptops, desktops, and all other types of computers. There are two types of data destruction: software-based and physical destruction of the data carriers.

 

Software-based

Reuzado uses Blancco software. Blancco is the global standard for data destruction. After destruction with Blancco, no technology can recover the deleted data. This is why Blancco is recommended by NATO and TUV. The formatting and destruction of data is guaranteed. You receive a detailed report and a certificate for each data carrier as proof of data destruction. Afterward, the hardware—with possible technical upgrades—can safely enter a second lifecycle. Recycling old hardware reduces the use of virgin raw materials, minimizes waste, and limits the CO2 footprint as much as possible.

 

Physical

In some cases, software-based destruction is not an option. This usually has technical reasons or the absence of a rest function (too old, too damaged, etc.). Then, complete physical destruction in the shredder is the safest option. Reuzado even offers this service on location. Your hardware does not need to leave your premises, and you can personally supervise the destruction process. This is followed by a written confirmation and the necessary certificates. A safe feeling!

 

How Does Physical Data Destruction Work?

Data carriers are shredded into very small pieces in a specially designed shredder, ensuring that no information can be retrieved. But there’s more to it: To collect all hardware safely, we place containers with locks and unique codes at your company so no data leaks occur at this stage. Our driver picks up the full containers. Upon arrival at our secure facility, barcodes are scanned, and hard drives and other data carriers are destroyed under video surveillance. It couldn’t be safer, faster, or easier! You receive the serial numbers of all destroyed data carriers, a destruction certificate, and an environmental document. The remaining materials are handed over for IT recycling.

 

On-Site

If your data is so sensitive that it cannot leave your premises, or if you want to witness the destruction process yourself, we perform data destruction on-site using our advanced mobile shredder. The entire process is as described above, except it takes place under your supervision. For every device, you receive a certificate guaranteeing 100% safe data destruction. This way, you can be sure your company information won’t fall into the wrong hands.

 

Your Hardware is Worth Money

Correct disposal of your old hardware can even earn you money! In almost all cases, your hardware’s value exceeds the cost of collection, processing, and data destruction. We’re happy to provide you with a no-obligation estimate of costs and returns.
