Data destruction
Certified data destruction: software-based erasure and physical shredding.
At W3E, we understand how important it is to keep your sensitive information secure. Our data destruction services are designed to ensure that your data is permanently and securely destroyed. Below you will find an overview of our various data destruction methods and the benefits they offer.
Professional data removal with Blancco software
In this method, data is overwritten with random data, often several times. This process, also known as data wiping, makes it virtually impossible to recover files. This is a suitable solution for reusable hardware. We perform data wiping using the advanced Blancco software.
We use Blancco software to permanently delete data, so your information is securely and guaranteed erased. Per data carrier, you receive a detailed clean disk statement and certificate as proof of responsible disposal. This makes your hardware immediately ready for reuse.
Blancco is authorized by, among others, the Dutch Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of the Interior, and even the US Department of Defense. This also guarantees the destruction of registered data for companies that need to work within the framework of SOX compliance. Blancco uses the most modern wiping techniques and for each information carrier you will receive a detailed report/data removal certificate.
Data carrier destruction with the hard drive shredder
In the case of physical destruction, storage media such as hard drives, SSDs, and USB sticks are completely destroyed through shredding or crushing. The devices are literally shredded into small pieces. This ensures that the data can never be reconstructed.
We disassemble the data carriers from your hardware and register them by serial number before destroying them. With our advanced shredders, we shred the carriers into confetti-sized fragments in just a few seconds, eliminating any form of data recovery. For shredding, we use advanced equipment so you can be sure that your data is completely secure.
You have the choice between destruction in our secure facility or at your location with our mobile shredder. This way, you can attend the process if you wish. After the process, we dispose of the remains in a responsible manner and you will receive an official certificate and a detailed report of the destroyed data carriers.
