The company offers data security services focused on proper data erasure and destruction techniques, including the following: Data Erasure: Data erasure is done in accordance with U.S. Department of Defense 5220.22M standards at its certified facilities. The company’s hard drive erasure process is designed to ensure safety through 100% data eradication. The company erases hard drives while they are either still in the system or out of the system, on its commercial erasure stations. Its capabilities range from single to bulk erasure schemes utilizing its multiport test systems. All hard drives are system audited by the company for erasure, with random samples removed for stand-alone audits. Additionally, the company conducts periodic random sampling to ensure proper hard drive erasure. Destruction: When erasure of hard drives and data devices is not secure enough or hard drive has an error making data erasure incomplete, the company offers data protection by destroying and shredding disk drives in accordance with National Security Agency (NSA) standards. On-Site Destruction: On-site media destruction is an option which provides the ultimate data security. With the company’s on-site media destruction services, a truck-mounted mobile shredder is dispatched directly to a facility so that data storage devices never leave a property, ensuring complete control and protection. The company follows the same procedures used with off-site hard drive destruction, including shredding the devices into small particles meeting NSA standards and recycling of the processed particles. Strategy The company’s business strategy is based upon utilizing its experience and expanding relationships and resources and includes expanding sources of public and private technology equipment; expanding resources for environmentally compliant recycling, reuse and data storage and destruction; expanding geographical footprint; expanding the demanufacturing and recycling services; and penetrating the large global market for the resale of useful equipment.
