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

S3 follows strict protocols and complies with all applicable environmental laws and regulations when we destroy equipment that does not have reasonable market value.

Physical Security

S3 ensures that security controls are in place for unwiped or undestroyed data storage devices. Security controls consider physical security, monitoring, chain-of-custody, and personnel qualifications.

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.

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.

Robust Reporting

S3 provides proof of successful erasure and non-recoverability – (certification of destruction), as required by industry regulations. Our detailed audit reports meet and exceed all regulatory and compliance requirements for data erasure.

Security and Compliance

Security and compliance are guaranteed throughout S3’s data and equipment destruction process. All drives, tapes, paper and other media are either sanitized or completely destroyed in accordance to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST®) 800-88 Guidelines for Media Sanitization. All drives in our possession are wiped using Active KillDisk.

Onsite Shredding

S3 offers onsite hard drive shredding which allows our clients to witness the data and equipment destruction firsthand and consequently enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that their sensitive information was handled with the highest level of security.
