Be Sure the Small Data Storage Devices Are Destroyed

The smallest digital media storage devices can hold extraordinary amounts of information, yet it is easy to overlook them in your information security process, especially at the time of disposal.

TechnoCycle’s digital storage media destruction service can support the secure destruction and disposal of various storage media. This destruction service can take place at your location while you watch using our NAID AAA Certified Mobile Destruction, or be removed for secure off-site destruction.

The Ultimate in Digital Media Device Destruction

After receiving your request for the destruction of your small data storage media or other devices, a five digit unique lot number is assigned for the service. We collect the items and return them to our facility where they are weighed in and then stored securely in preparation to be manifested. All assets collected from your location are included in a manifest which lists each item with its serial number, make, model, or any other identifying information before each is destroyed.

During the shredding and destruction process, your storage media will be destroyed in our state-of-the-art shredder. This machine will physically shred and destroy all media to ensure that all information is irretrievable.

At the completion of your media destruction service, we provide you a manifest, Certificates of Destruction and other requested documentation within 24 business hours after the completion of the requested services. After destruction all remaining material is kept in our secure facility before being securely transferred to a certified partner for further shredding, separation, and recycling.

Not unlike our off-site services, our NAID AAA Certified Mobile Destruction equipment includes a shredder capable of destroying all types of data storage devices. With this service we are able to visit your facility and perform destruction services. The process remains the same with the documentation of serial numbers (or identifying item information if no serial number available) for all items, the destruction, the Certificate of Destruction, and the ongoing security of the shredded items until they are recycled by a certified partner.

Compliance Confirmed

The regulations related to protecting your information or your customers’ information are rigorous. The fines and penalties for failing to implement a data protection program have also increased. Destruction of your small or unique media storage devices by a secure, reliable provider will help you avoid a costly mistake.

Whether you need to comply with NSA, DoD, GLB, HIPAA, SOX or various other regulations, we can help. We have consulted with a wide range of companies and government agencies throughout Houston, The Woodlands, Sugar Land and throughout the surrounding regions of Texas to advise them on compliance with various regulations.

We will supply a detailed audit trail for your destroyed media in order to meet all chain of custody demands.

Our process is compliant with all mandated standards, including corporate destruction standards and government standards for destruction of all classified, information-bearing material to federal specific requirements including NSA/CSS Specification 13-09.
