On-Site Data Destruction
For those of our clients who require the utmost security and ease of mind E-cycle offers our NAID AAA Certified on-site data destruction services. Our Data Specialists are able to come out on location with our NSA, HIPPA, NIST, DOD FCC certified Hard Drive Crusher and Degausser to physically destroy your hard drives and other data containing media right in front of you. Our on-site services include both degaussing AND hard drive crushing to ensure absolutely no data is ever able to be accessed from your media again. This service also includes a Certificate of Destruction.
Off-Site Data Destruction
We also offer off-site data destruction in which we come out to your location and place all of your hard drives and other data containing media into secure, locked containers. The media is then transported back to our secure warehouse which is under 24 hour video surveillance and security monitoring. At this point our data destruction specialists will use our NSA, HIPPA, NIST, DOD FCC certified Hard Drive Crusher and Degausser to degauss AND physically destroy your data containing media and hard drives. This service also includes a Certificate of Destruction.
Degaussing
Our NSA, HIPPA, NIST, DOD FCC certified Degausser is the top of the line in terms of both efficiency and reliability. A few features of our device are:
- Generation of a 10,000+ Gauss (1 Tesla) magnetic field for complete erasure of hard drives and tape
- Complete data elimination in ~7 seconds
- Erases working and non-working hard drives
- Office quiet
Our degausser exposes the media to a strong magnetic field of sufficient strength to magnetically destroy all data. The magnetic field destroys the data on the drive in approximately 1/10 of a second regardless of the drive’s functionality. Degaussing is recognized by the NSA and DoD as an approved method of secure data destruction.
Hard Drive Crushing
Our NSA, HIPPA, NIST, DOD FCC certified Hard Drive Crusher is capable of destroying your hard drives quickly and completely. The NSA has used this exact model of crusher to destroy sensitive government information and with E-cycle Enterprises you will be able to take advantage of that same level of security and peace of mind. A few features our device features are:
- Delivery of approximately 15,500 pounds of crushing power to hard drives.
