Secure data destruction

Computer data is stored on a solid state drive or hard drive. Solid state drives store the data electronically while hard drives store the data on a magnetic disc known as a platen. Computer storage drives are reliable and keep your data very safe from loss. Obviously, while you are using the drive in your computer, this is what you need, but when the time comes to dispose of it, you want to be sure the data has been removed. Perhaps you have bought a new computer and want to give the old one to a friend or to a charity. Perhaps you have upgraded your computer with a new drive and are wondering what to do with the old drive. However you come to have a spare drive, your precious and probably confidential data will still be perfectly readable on your old drive, even if you have deleted it.

As you don't want anyone else accessing your data, it needs to be destroyed. We can remove all the data from a drive with secure data deletion to government security standards. We carry out the secure data wipe where you can see us doing it, on your site. We don't remove the drive from site so there is no chance of it getting lost and falling into the hands of someone who should not have it. Once the data on your drive has been securely wiped, you can take it to the waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) collection point at your council recycling centre, or give it to a friend or relative, secure in the knowledge that whatever happens to it, your data has been safely deleted.
