Do you provide the secure bins or containers for the paper waste?
Yes. We provide high-security, locked consoles or shredding bags for the collection of your confidential paper waste, ensuring security from the moment you place the documents inside.
Can I send both hard drives and paper in the same collection?
Yes. We will secure and separate the electronic media (hard drives, tapes, etc.) from the paper documents upon collection and ensure each is destroyed using the appropriate industrial-grade shredder at our facility.
How is the security of my data maintained during transport?
Your confidential media is secured in locked containers and transported in a vehicle that is GPS-tracked, alarmed, and driven by screened personnel, maintaining a strict, auditable chain of custody.
Is off-site destruction compliant with GDPR?
Yes. Our facility and destruction processes meet the high standards required by GDPR for irreversible data disposal. The Certificate of Destruction provides documented proof of this compliance.
What is the typical turnaround time for destruction and certification?
Destruction typically occurs within hours of arrival at our facility. The Certificate of Destruction is issued and delivered to you within 24 hours of the completion of the shredding process.
