One data breach from a retired device costs more than your entire IT budget for the year.

When you upgrade computers, replace servers or clear out old devices — what actually happens to the data on them? A factory reset doesn't wipe a hard drive. Under GDPR, you remain responsible for that data until it is provably destroyed — with documentation to prove it.
Client files, financial records, patient data and staff information remain on hard drives long after a device is "reset." Forensic recovery takes minutes with tools anyone can download for free.
If a breach is traced back to a disposed device, having no destruction record is the same as having no evidence. The DPC will not accept "we factory reset it."
Retired routers, switches and firewalls hold configuration data, passwords and network maps. In the wrong hands that is a direct route back into your business.
Client financial records. Patient files. Business correspondence. It's all still there — readable, recoverable — long after you believe the device is gone.
How It Works
Fill in the form below. Tell us what devices need to be destroyed and roughly how many. We'll confirm a collection time within 24 hours.
We come to you. Every device is securely wiped using certified data erasure software or physically destroyed. Hard drives are rendered permanently unreadable.
You receive a written destruction certificate for every device — documented proof of GDPR compliance, ready whenever the DPC, a client, or an auditor asks for it.
What We Accept
Not sure if we take it? Ask us — if it stores data, we almost certainly do.
