Data destruction for businesses: secure, certified and GDPR compliant

Confidential information must remain confidential. At Reuzado, we provide professional data destruction for all your digital storage media, fully certified and tailored to your organisation's requirements. Whether it involves individual hard drives, complete servers or network equipment, we destroy everything securely, transparently and with full documentation. You will always receive an official certificate of destruction, including serial numbers and details for each item.

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 e-mail or telefoon. 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 handle the remains responsibly. All destroyed devices are processed in line with applicable environmental standards. If data is still stored inside laptops, servers or other devices, we safely remove those components before destruction. Outdated IT equipment that cannot be reused is disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. Reuzado is WEEELABEX certified, which means our recycling methods meet the highest environmental protection and responsible processing standards.
