Secure Data Destruction
with Certificate
Data sanitization and physical shredding following NIST 800-88 guidelines. Every device processed receives a certificate of destruction to support your compliance and audit records.
Make retired data unrecoverable — with proof
Data destruction is the sanitization or physical destruction of storage media so the information it held can no longer be read. It matters most to IT and security teams, healthcare and legal practices, financial and professional firms, and any business disposing of computers, servers, or drives that once held customer, employee, or client data.
A single discarded drive with intact data can create real exposure. Our documented, NIST 800-88-guided process is designed to reduce that risk — and to give you paperwork that shows exactly what was done.
Two proven approaches
Physical Shredding
Industrial shredders reduce drives to fragments — designed to render media unusable and make data recovery impractical. Available on-site or at our secure facility.
Software Overwrite
NIST 800-88 Clear and Purge methods for HDDs and SSDs, with verification. Suitable when drives will be reused after sanitization.
Certificate of Destruction
Issued per device with serial number, make/model, method used, and date — audit-ready documentation to support your records.
What's included — and what's not
What's included
- NIST 800-88-guided sanitization (Clear/Purge) or physical destruction
- On-site or facility-based hard-drive shredding
- Serial-level certificate of destruction per device
- Chain-of-custody documentation from pickup to destruction
- Recycling of destroyed media through vetted downstream processors
What we don't do
- Data recovery, forensic imaging, or file retrieval
- Legal certification that a specific regulation is satisfied (documentation supports your own compliance review)
- Guarantees of a specific particle size beyond the equipment’s rated output
- Certifications we do not hold — we describe our methods, not accreditations we lack

From intake to certificate
Identify data-bearing media
During intake, every device is checked for storage. Data-bearing media is separated and logged before anything else happens.
Choose the method
Reusable drives can be overwritten (NIST 800-88 Clear/Purge) with verification; drives that cannot be reliably overwritten are physically destroyed.
Destroy or sanitize
Shredding is available on-site or at our secure facility. Software wiping runs on dedicated workstations with a verification pass.
Document & certify
A certificate of destruction is issued per device, with serial-level detail and chain-of-custody records for your files.
Documentation that supports your records
Physical destruction is designed to render media unusable and make data recovery impractical, and software sanitization methods are selected with reference to applicable NIST 800-88 media-sanitization guidance. Certificates of destruction and chain-of-custody records are provided based on the selected service scope. We describe our methods honestly and do not imply that any standards body certifies the company.
Orange County coverage
Available throughout Orange County, California as a service area — on-site destruction for qualifying jobs, or secure transport to our facility. This is a service area, not a physical office in each city.
