Data destruction for businesses: secure, certified and GDPR compliant

“Deleting” via Windows, macOS or a factory reset only removes the index; the data remains physically on the drive and can be recovered using data recovery software. Physical destruction in a shredder rules this out. If you do wish to reuse the drive, opt for certified overwriting — this is different from simply erasing the data and provides a verifiable erasure report.

The GDPR requires organisations to delete personal data as soon as it is no longer needed and to be able to demonstrate that this has been done. Simply putting a hard drive in a cupboard or giving it away without proof of destruction does not meet this requirement. With professional data destruction and the accompanying certificate, you fulfil your accountability obligations and prevent a data breach that would require reporting.

We securely destroy a wide range of IT equipment, including hard drives (HDD and SSD), laptops, servers, USB drives, NAS systems, mobile phones, and network devices. Whether the devices are working or not, we handle everything responsibly and in line with the highest standards.

The most secure and efficient method is physical hard drive destruction. The storage medium is immediately shredded into tiny pieces, preventing any possibility of data recovery. This is especially useful when clearing out outdated IT equipment.

At Reuzado, we use fully certified data destruction processes that meet GDPR and international standards. After each job, you receive a certificate and detailed report. This gives you confidence that your data and IT equipment were handled securely and responsibly.

The cost of data destruction depends on the number of data storage devices, the method chosen (physical shredding or certified erasure) and whether we visit your premises or collect the equipment. Often, part of the costs is covered by the residual value of your depreciated hardware, meaning that data destruction can, in practice, be cost-neutral or even profitable.

We usually schedule on-site data destruction within five working days; collection can often be arranged even sooner. In urgent cases, such as a relocation or an increased risk of a data breach, we’ll work with you to find a solution within 48 hours. Following the data destruction, you’ll receive the certificate listing all serial numbers within a few days, so your records are complete straight away.
