Data Destruction

Data destruction is a critical aspect of e-waste management, especially for a trusted company like GRKMS. It ensures that sensitive information stored on electronic devices is completely and securely wiped or destroyed, preventing unauthorized access and data breaches.

GRKMS utilizes certified data destruction methods like shredding, data wiping, and degaussing for maximum security. We employ recognized software like Blancco and BitRaser to securely wipe data from your IT assets.

GRKMS maintains secure facilities with controlled access to prevent unauthorized personnel from handling electronic devices during the data destruction process. We establish a clear chain of custody for devices from receipt to destruction completion, keeping detailed records of each device’s handling and destruction.

To provide clients with proof of secure data deletion, GRKMS issues data destruction certificates. These certificates include the organization’s name, address, device details, destruction methods used, and the destruction date. For devices that cannot be securely wiped, we employ physical destruction methods like shredding or crushing to render the storage media unusable.

Our data sanitization process meets various international and industry standards, including NIST-800-88R for media sanitization, IRS 1075 for federal tax information security, CCPA for California consumer privacy, DoD for US Department of Defense security, GDPR for personal information collection and processing, HIPAA for healthcare information protection, PCI DSS 3.2 for payment card data security, PIPEDA for personal information protection, and TAA for the Trade Agreements Act.

GRKMS prioritizes data security. Our employees are trained on proper data destruction procedures, security protocols, and the importance of data privacy. We also conduct background checks to ensure employee trustworthiness.

GRKMS maintains secure transportation practices for electronic devices to prevent data breaches during transit. We operate with ethical and transparent practices in all aspects of data destruction to build trust with clients and partners.

By prioritizing data security and adhering to strict protocols, GRKMS ensures that sensitive information is never compromised during the disposal or recycling process. This commitment is essential for maintaining client trust and protecting their sensitive data.
