Data Destruction & Erasure Services

Many clients prefer or require having their IT assets destroyed on-site as opposed to sending them to our facility for destruction. Fortunately, this is possible thanks to SustainableTec’s mobile data destruction vehicles.

  • Instead of sending IT assets to our facility, clients can request that one of our secure electronic destruction vehicles come to their location. These vehicles are equipped to handle the destruction of hard drives, cell phones, computers, tapes, CDs, and other electronic equipment.

    We can also provide clients with a secure data bin that can be used to collect any assets that need to be destroyed. The steel-plated bin can be locked to keep all of the assets safe until our destruction vehicle arrives.

    Once we arrive, the IT assets will be taken inside the truck, where our professionals will be counted or serialized. The serial numbers on each device will be recorded before the device is shredded. This allows clients to keep track of their assets even after they have been destroyed. Clients will also receive certificates of destruction for each IT asset so they have a record of everything that has been destroyed.

    Since the assets are destroyed inside the vehicle, clients can keep a watchful eye on their assets throughout the process to ensure the destruction is done properly. After the process is complete, the shredded materials will be transported to our facility. Our team will then remove aluminium, glass, metals and other recyclables from the shredded materials.

    The process that is used to shred IT assets within our vehicles meets all International standards related to the destruction of sensitive data and IT assets. Therefore, there’s no need to worry that the data will be compromised or retrievable after the device has been destroyed.

    In addition, all our  employees have been thoroughly trained to handle sensitive data. Each employee also has to pass rigorous background checks before they are hired at one of our facilities. 

    Destroying old IT assets through on-site shredding is also environmentally friendly. We do not use harmful chemicals at any point in the data destruction or shredding process. As a result, shredding IT assets inside our trucks is not harmful to the environment or people. The shredded materials are also completely recyclable, which means nothing that is shredded in our vehicles will end up sitting in a landfill.

  • We also offer several on-site data erasure services that may be of interest to our clients. First, clients can request that our team erase data on their devices. The device would remain in the client’s possession after the data has been erased so it can be reused internally or resold. We also offer data erasure services for employees who are working remotely. A bootable USB drive can be created that gives the remote employee the power to wipe the hard drive on their own. The USB drive will automatically create a detailed report that outlines each drive that the remote employee has destroyed. Once this report is retrieved, ERI will be able to provide a certificate of data destruction to the client.
