Request On-site Shredding

Hard Drive Shredding

With global upticks in hacks and data security breaches, many companies are putting emphasis on physical destruction of hard drives and other media storage devices. S3’s high-performance hard drive shredders provide increased efficiency and security to our clients, including onsite data destruction services.

What S3 Offers

Secure Facilities

When a data destruction project requires offsite processes, clients can be sure that S3’s multilevel security continues to protect their sensitive data. S3 provides a secure chain of custody during the relocation of clients’ data-containing devices, and their offsite facilities are monitored 24/7. On top of constant CCTV monitoring, facilities have armed guards on both shifts, RFID badge access to data sensitive areas, third party monitoring, and security gates on dock doors.

Overwriting/Wiping

Overwriting, or wiping, is a software procedure that performs a multiple pass wipe and replacement of previously stored data on magnetic media with predefined meaningless data. S3 only utilizes software that meets the industry’s accepted standard. Security and compliance are guaranteed throughout S3’s data and equipment destruction process, and all drives in our possession are wiped using Active KillDisk.

Physical Destruction

S3 conducts HD shredding for physical destruction of data storage devices including (but not limited to) hard drives, CDs, DVDs, cellular phones, PDAs, routers, switches, VPNs, firewalls, copy machines, fax machines, phone system voicemail, printers, cassettes, and flash memory devices. All media are either sanitized or completely destroyed in accordance to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST®) 800-88 Guidelines for Media Sanitization.
