Why data destruction on-site?

In addition to software-based data destruction W3E offers physical data destruction as an additional assurance. Software-based erasure is extremely suitable for the reuse of hardware. But when hardware is at the end of its life cycle or when internal compliance requirements require a definitive, tangible destruction, many organizations opt for physical destruction.

Our on-site mobile data destruction service offers the following benefits:

No transport risk: Your data carriers will not leave your premises until they are destroyed.
Direct supervision: You observe the entire process from registration to dissolution.
In accordance with the GDPR: We provide an official destruction certificate and a registration report at the end of the process.
Time saving: We process large volumes of data carriers in seconds to confetti size.

Method: The destruction process

Disassembly: Our specialists carefully disassemble the data carriers (such as hard drives or SSDs) from your computers, servers, or other hardware. We disassemble the data carriers wherever possible without damaging the surrounding equipment.
Registration: Each detached data carrier is registered on-site. We scan the unique serial number for a complete record of each device that is offered for destruction.
Destruction: The recorded data carriers are immediately sent to our mobile shredder. This device processes the hardware in seconds into small, unreadable fragments, making data recovery definitively impossible.
Reporting: After destruction, you will receive an official destruction certificate. This document contains all the necessary information about the destroyed media and serves as conclusive evidence for your internal administration and GDPR compliance.
Processing: The resulting residual materials are collected and disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner by W3E. We guarantee the complete recycling of the materials, in full compliance with our WEEELABEX certification.
