After we erase your broken hard drive data — your confidential information can no longer be recovered even by a laboratory attack!

ALL OF OUR PURGING METHODS (erasing) follow recognized NIST guidelines which meet or exceed requirements of all current privacy legislation including HIPAA, SBA/SOX, FACTA, GLBA, and the others. In the NIST guidelines, the term "Purge" has specific meaning. Purging is the most secure method of eliminating data.

We erase broken hard drives that are current technology as well as the older outdated technologies.

When you use us to erase broken hard drives and include an email address YOU RECEIVE A VIDEO of the hard disk drive data erase process, from package opening through complete data erase.

Even on a working drive We NEVER DO A SOFTWARE WIPE (overwrite.) Hard drive wipe software may meet lower security sanitation standards but may also leave critical areas of your drive untouched. In addition, when using software wipe utilities and properly following the DoD 5220.22M Overwrite Protocol it takes approximately 8-12 hours for even a 100 Gig drive. This is why software vendors don't tell you the DoD 5220.22M Overwrite Protocol has been retired. Hard drive wipe software? Forget it. Replace the drive with a larger faster one and have us sanitize & recycle the old hard disk drive.

WE USE SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT (expensive) made specifically to erase broken hard drives, yet we keep our prices low.
