Hard Drive Shredding in London

When disposing of sensitive data, it is vital you shred digital storage devices as well as paper copies. Computer hard drives, memory sticks, and even other office mainstays like printers all store information that could be harmful if stolen. At London Shredding, we shred hard drives and other storage devices to render all data completely irretrievable. This ensures that your security is preserved and that you are complying with data legislation like GDPR. You can be certain that no information will remain accessible on any device left in our care, and that the materials from the destroyed drives will be recycled.

How can we help with hard drive shredding?

We destroyed twenty hard drives for a London-based media company. They had a large volume of data stored on these devices and needed them shredded to comply with GDPR and keep company information private. They got in touch with us a few weeks before the collection was required and we arranged a time that was convenient to them. Our operatives headed up to their third-floor office, took the drives, and securely transported them to our site for destruction. The collection only took 20 minutes from beginning to end. The drives were then destroyed to European standard BS EN15713 giving our client peace of mind that their data was irretrievable.

Frequently asked hard drive shredding questions

How do you destroy a hard drive?

The most effective way to destroy a hard drive is with a shredder. Some sources may claim it can be done yourself with a hammer or drill, but the only way you can be certain that the data is completely irretrievable is professional shredding.

Why should I shred my hard drives?

Having your hard drives completely destroyed renders the data inaccessible, thereby eliminating a potential security risk. It also helps you comply with GDPR rules regarding data destruction and ensures the remains can be recycled effectively.

Do you provide proof that my hard drives are destroyed?

Yes. We provide a waste transfer note when we first take remove the drives and other storage devices from your site. After they have been shredded, we will send over a Certificate of Destruction that you can keep for your records.

How are the hard drives kept safe prior to shredding?

Our process is guided by the BS EN15713 European standard. This means we store all material in our care in locked containers, and only transport it in secure box bodied vehicles. It is securely locked away at our site before being promptly shredded.
