Step 1
Logged and sealed
We record each drive and its serial number, note who authorized the job, and keep it sealed until the work is done.
Data destruction · Cleveland, Ohio
Retire old drives. Leave nothing behind.
We wipe or destroy your hard drives and SSDs to NIST SP 800-88, log every one by serial number, and hand you a certificate for your records.

How it works
Every drive accounted for, start to finish
On-site or by scheduled pickup. You choose whether each drive is wiped for reuse or destroyed for good.
Step 2a
Wiped for reuse
Drives you plan to reuse, resell or return get the NIST method for their media type, then a check that the wipe finished.
Step 2b
Or destroyed for good
Failed drives, or any drive you never want to see again, are physically destroyed, with photos for your file.
What you get
Paperwork that holds up in an audit
When an auditor, client or insurer asks what happened to those old drives, you hand them a folder.
- Certificate of destruction with the date, the method and each drive’s serial
- Chain-of-custody log from the moment we take the drives
- Photo proof for every drive that is physically destroyed
- An exceptions note if any drive could not be handled as planned

Before you hand over your drives
What methods do you use?
The one NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 calls for on that media and for what happens to it next: clear or purge when the drive will be reused, destroy when it will not. Hard drives and SSDs are handled differently, because a method that works on one does not always work on the other.
Do I get a certificate of destruction?
Yes, with any job that includes one, along with the chain-of-custody log. It lists the date, the method and each drive’s serial number, so it works for audits and your own records.
Does this help with HIPAA or other compliance?
The records line up with what HIPAA, GLBA, FERPA and PCI DSS expect for disposing of media. Your exact obligations are best confirmed with your own compliance or legal advisor; we provide the work and the evidence.
What can you handle, and where?
Hard drives, SSDs and other storage from desktops, laptops, servers and backup systems. We work on-site across Cleveland and Northeast Ohio, or pick the drives up on a scheduled date.
Are you third-party certified?
No, and we will not claim to be until we are. What you get is a documented process that follows NIST SP 800-88, and a record of every drive you can show anyone who asks.
