SECURE DESTRUCTION OF DATA
This is where it becomes lawful. Companies who fail to handle their old data properly face steep fines from the ICO. Any private or sensitive data should be expertly deleted using certified erasure software by a business with data processing authorization. In addition to using approved erasing techniques and NCSC-certified erasure on magnetic hard drives, Gigacycle is registered with the ICO.
There is a significant chance that your private information will be compromised when you dispose of IT equipment. You must thus work with a business such as Gigacycle. On whatever IT device we get, we safely erase all data to ensure that no remnants of it remain. Data destruction and secure IT disposal are our main commercial services. To guarantee that your data is appropriately destroyed, we go above and above globally accepted norms. The techniques we employ are certified, approved, and utilized by government agencies, guaranteeing information compliance and IT governance.
DATA SECURE ERASURE
For data destruction in the UK, we advise using secure data erasure. The process of securely erasing data entails replacing each data block on data-carrying media, like the hard drive, with a sequence of useless data. It overwrites by repeatedly going over the data block by block. It then confirms that the data has been completely removed. The system will electronically produce a distinct data destruction certificate at the end of the procedure to validate its outcomes.
The procedure will fail if the data destruction technique is unable to remove even a single block. In this case, the drive will be physically destroyed. Our recommended technique of data destruction is Secure Data Erasure because it is transparent to the consumer. Only when this procedure is finished and erasure is properly confirmed is the data destruction certificate generated, which is unique to the serial number of the media being destroyed.
Since the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC, formerly CESG) is the government branch of GCHQ and independently tests and verifies data destruction techniques, we are able to offer NCSC-approved data erasure for magnetic media.
- Methods for Data Erasure of Magnetic Media Approved by the NCSC
- Higher Standard Algorithm, HMG Infosec Standard 5
- Certificate-Verified Data Destruction
- Items that have been erased can be recycled and reused.
Data destruction
NHS Secure data destruction is one of our areas of expertise. We make sure that data is properly deleted and treat all data-carrying media equally.
We use physical destruction if a data-carrying item fails the verification process and has been erased. As the name implies, this technique entails destroying the item with a shredder.
Any data-carrying medium, including hard drives, tapes, CDs, cell phones, USBs, and more, can be destroyed by us down to 6 mm particles!
- Data-carrying medium can be shredded into 6mm particles.
- Shredded Mobile and Tablet Devices
- Destruction on-site and off-site
- Certificate of Bulk Destruction
DATA DESTRUCTION ON SITE
Every one of our clients needs a unique solution that complies with their corporate guidelines. We provide on-site data destruction for this. To make sure your data never leaves your building, we can visit your location and erase the data there before it does.
We provide a range of on-site options, including physical data destruction using a hard drive punch, hard drive shredding, hard drive degaussing, and NCSC (National Cyber Security Centre, formerly CESG) Approved Overwriting of magnetic hard drives.
