Nowadays, when someone says “it’s on sight,” you might be tempted to assume a kung fu stance, but onsite data destruction is altogether a different matter.  It’s quick, easy, and highly effective; it’s gratifying to watch, and best of all, we come to you. 

We understand that every business has its own set of procedures, and because we pride ourselves on our versatility as well as our top-tier data destruction services, we’re now offering onsite hard drive shredding as well as onsite degaussing.

In today’s blog, we’ll take a look at the benefits of each and why it’s so important to partner with a certified recycler (ahem…eAsset Solutions) for your data destruction needs. Vámonos!

 

Why Onsite Data Destruction Matters

 

Onsite data destruction, specifically, onsite hard drive shredding, provides a secure and efficient way to dispose of outdated or unwanted data storage devices.  Because companies handle large amounts of sensitive information it’s important to make certain this data is completely destroyed to protect both their business and clients. 

Recently, a nightmare scenario unfolded for Morgan Stanley when unwiped hard drives ended up being auctioned off, leading to a $6.5 million settlement.  This costly mistake not only hit the bank financially but also jeopardized its integrity, but more importantly, could have been easily avoided.  Let’s take a look at some key reasons why this service is indispensable:

Security and Peace of Mind

 

The peace of mind that comes from knowing your data is truly destroyed is invaluable, and witnessing the process onsite delivers this assurance.  Whether it’s onsite hard drive shredding or onsite hard drive degaussing, eliminating data breaches from the convenience of your business is as simple as giving us a call.

Regulatory Compliance

 

Numerous regulations require proper data destruction to safeguard personal and sensitive information, and partnering with a certified recycler ensures compliance with laws such as HIPAA, GDPR, FACTA, and many, many more.

Environmental Responsibility

 

By partnering with certified recyclers who adhere to environmentally friendly practices for disposing of electronic devices, like smartphones, laptops, or CPUs, you contribute to reducing the carbon footprint and support a greener, more sustainable future.  Additionally, when you partner with eAsset Solutions you are doing your part to support a circular economy.

The Importance of Partnering with a Certified Recycler

 

When it comes to handling sensitive information, due diligence goes a long way.  However, not all service providers are created equal.  Choosing a certified recycler like eAsset Solutions brings with it many environmental, as well as financial, benefits.  Allow me to enlighten you:

Expertise and Certification

 

You’d want a certified doctor seeing to your health, and data destruction should be no different.  Certified recyclers have the necessary expertise and certifications to handle data destruction securely and effectively.  eAsset Solutions, with nearly 20 years of experience in data destruction and recycling, complies with various standards and regulations (listed below) and can provide you with unmatched assurance.

Comprehensive Services

 

eAsset Solutions offers a range of services including onsite hard drive shredding, SSD shredding, and onsite degaussing.  Our versatility means you can have all your data destrucion needs met in one place, saving time and hassle.

Traceability and Documentation

 

Still another reason to work with a certified recycler is their ability to provide detailed documentation, including serial inventories of shredded hard drives and chains of custody, which are critical for audits and verifying compliance with regulatory requirements.

eAsset Solutions’ Onsite Data Destruction Services

 

Onsite Hard Drive Shredding

 

Our mobile shredding truck, like the batmobile, comes directly to your location.  We destroy your hard drives beyond recovery and make sure your data is permanently inaccessible.

Onsite SSD Shredding

 

Solid State Drives (SSDs) require shredding as they can’t be degaussed.  Equipped to shred SSDs, our mobile truck will make short work out of even the largest pile and guarantee complete data destruction.

Onsite Degaussing

 

We’ve talked about degaussing before, but briefly: degaussing is the process of erasing data from magnetic storage devices by disrupting the magnetic fields, ensuring that data on hard drives and tapes is rendered completely unreadable.  Additionally, this process is more environmentally friendly (a favorite of ours), and we are happy to offer this service as well.

Regulatory Compliance w/eAsset Solutions

 

Understanding the requirements of our clients is essential to what we do, and we tailor our services accordingly.  Additionally, our data destruction processes are in accordance with:

R2v3 (Responsible Recycling)

RIOS (Recycling Industry Operating Standard)

Suffice it to say that we’ve got you covered when it comes to your onsite hard drive shredding and data destruction needs.

Quick, Easy, and Highly Effective

 

Three adjectives we love at eAsset Solution: quick, easy, and highly effective (highly?  Okay, we’ll throw in the adverb too—what the hell).  Let’s briefly touch on why these are so important.

Convenience

 

We come to you.  Period.  Our mobile shredder is equipped to handle data destruction at your location, making it as easy as possible for our clients.

Efficiency

 

The entire process is fast and efficient.  Our team handles everything from collection to destruction, allowing you to focus on your business at hand.

Gratification

 

Call it primal, but there is something deeply gratifying about watching old hard drives get torn, mangled and shredded, providing a visceral sense of security and peace of mind.
