When drives leave your business, a factory reset is not enough. We erase drives to the NIST SP 800-88 standard or physically shred them, log every one by serial number, and hand you a certificate you can give an auditor. On-site shredding is available so nothing with data on it ever leaves your building.
Two ways: software erasure that follows NIST SP 800-88, or physical shredding of the drive. Either way each drive is logged by serial number and you get a signed certificate of destruction. We can do it at your office (on-site) or at our Medley facility.
