Best practice approach for 100% Secure Data Destruction

Handing over of Data Devices like HDDs, Media tapes, Flash drives etc. is a major challenge for any organisation while going for disposal of IT equipment. These Data Devices are loaded with lots of confidential information of the company & its clients and personal / secret information of the staff etc. and hence it becomes very important that before handing over such devices, all the data are completely sanitized / destroyed.

At E-Clean E-Green, we have developed India's first mobile shredding facility that enables 100% destruction of confidential data at the client premise (onsite). By shredding the data devices at the client site itself, we relieve clients of their concerns relating to data security and data leakage. ... We use the world's most secure data deletion software–Blancco. Storing the deletion report for each media device by its serial number, we maintain documented proof of deletion for audit compliance. Our reports of data deletion meet all international data security criteria. Passing through a high magnetic field, degaussing disturbs the magnetic property of devices, eradicates all data and renders the device unusable. Upon completion, all degaussed storage media is transported in a secure container to the E-Clean E-Green’s recycling facility for scientific disposal. Our nationwide fleet of mobile shredders enables clients to witness the physical destruction process onsite. With a throughput of 60 to 100 hard drives an hour, the facility incorporates an inbuilt system of recording the entire operation. It creates records for the client’s future reference, audit trails etc.

Physical destruction as a method is adopted by most leading Banks and Financial Institutions worldwide. This is where data security and compliance are critical corporate mandates. Upon completion of the shredding process, all shredded material is recycled at the E-Clean E-Green’s recycling facility in a responsible and scientific manner. ...
