Data destruction is a critical aspect of e-waste management, especially for a trusted e-waste management company like GRKMS. Proper data destruction ensures that Sensitive Information stored on electronic devices is Completely and Securely Wiped or Destroyed to prevent any unauthorized access or data breaches.
GRKMS utilize certified data destruction methods such as Shredding, Data Wiping, Degaussing and so on for data security.
GRKMS use the Software Blancco and BitRaser that are recognized and approved for securely wiping data from your IT assets.
GRKMS maintain Secure Facilities with controlled access to prevent unauthorized personnel from handling electronic devices during the data destruction process. Also we establish a clear chain of custody for electronic devices from the moment they are received until data destruction is completed. Keep detailed records of each device’s handling and destruction.
GRKMS provide Data Destruction Certificates such as certificate of disposal, certificate of destruction and certificate of recycling to clients as proof that their data has been securely and permanently deleted. These certificates include organization’s name and address, details of device and annexure, destruction methods used, and the date of destruction. For devices that cannot be securely wiped, employ physical destruction methods like shredding or crushing to render the storage media completely unusable.
