Hard drive destruction

Hard Drive Destruction

With today’s GDPR rules in the UK, managing and containing sensitive personal data is an important aspect of your legal responsibilities as a business.

When disposing of hard drives, USBs or other commercial hardware, only physical destruction can 100% guarantee the elimination of the confidential data they contain. anyclear instruct hard drive destruction specialists to destroy your hard drives and safeguard the confidential data of your business.

Simply erasing, reformatting or wiping old hard drives will still leave you and your customers vulnerable, as data is still able to be retrieved. Along the same lines as paper shredding, hard drive destruction makes it impossible for any data to be retrieved, but many businesses fail to deal with their hardware adequately.

Whether you are clearing an office space or replacing old IT equipment, anyclear will collect and securely wipe and shred all of your hard drives. We offer regular scheduled hard drive collection or an on demand service depending on your hard drive destruction needs. You will be issued with a waste transfer note as well as a hard certificate of destruction, specifying the date and quantity of hard drive material that has been destroyed. This can be kept as evidence of your company’s legal compliance with GDPR.

Once the hard drives has been destroyed, the hardware will be recycled through our approved partners, limiting damage to the environment as part of our zero to landfill policy. Contact us for more details on our hard drive destruction service.
