Securely, timely and environmentally sensitive disposal of computer equipment is a major challenge for all organizations nowadays. Just as it's critical to set up and configure an asset for use, it's vital that it is decommissioned appropriately both to eliminate risk and to ensure maximum return of investment. An organization's data represents its greatest asset. When disposing of unwanted IT equipment, there is a significant risk that this data may fall into the wrong hands. Our work process and aim are to decommission your obsolete IT equipment safely and securely. At VGN the employees are fully trained and goes through background check to be sure they can follow these procedures for the classified data and information destruction.
Our standardized policies, procedures and training guarantee destruction exceeding mandatory legal guidelines. VGN hard drive shredding process has been certified using classified recovery methods. At VGN, HDD shredding is performed by trained technicians who have undergone background checks, signed confidentiality agreements and passed the government check Nowadays disc shredding size is critically important. Our advanced shredder which is self-contained and self-powered in our warehouses, allows us to shred hard drives down quickly and thoroughly. The shredding process not only shreds the metal but, by forcing it through the cutters and screens, it also compacts the hard drive rendering it completely unrecoverable. We ensure your hard drives are properly destroyed before being discarded and you are always provided a detailed certificate of destruction.
To protect sensitive, proprietary information and personal data the hard disk drives needs to be permanently wiped. It is not enough to simply erase the HDD data by traditional methods like deleting files or old fashion formatting. Nowadays the deleted information can be recovered by smart data recovery software. VGN is providing comprehensive data wipes as part of our process of electronic waste recycling services. Our pledge is to protect the hard drive data in the afterlife of old discarded IT hardware. Our Dry Erasure (DoD and NIST Standard Data Wipe) is the process that permanently deletes all the information and data from the hard disk drive making it impossible to retrieve. This goes beyond simple formatting, especially in cases where highly sensitive data is involved.
