Frequently Asked Questions – FAQs
What is onsite data destruction?
Data destruction is the process of destroying sensitive data stored in hard drives and similar media devices. Whether through software or physical destruction, this service can be carried out on the premises of the client which is why it is called onsite data destruction.
What are the benefits of onsite data destruction?
Due to the nature of information, industry requirements, and the law, companies can’t afford even a thin chance of theft, security breach, or its unauthorized access.
Onsite data destruction is ideal for such situations because the service is provided on the premises and conducted safely in front of the authorized staff.
Moreover, onsite data destruction service providers like Hummingbird International bring high-end equipment with them which are NSA compliant and used according to the NIST 800-88 standard. The equipment shreds hard drives and storage devices to tiny pieces, and even dispose the materials for recycling at a safe location.
Instead of sending storage media and hard drives to a far away facility, you get peace of mind and watch your data destroyed completely with no chance of recoverability.
What are the different types of data destruction?
There are different methods of data destruction but data wiping or erasure and hard drive shredding are the preferred ones because they make data recovery impossible. Thus, they are secure and safe options.
Are there differences among data erasure, and hard drive shredding?
All three are methods of data destruction but they are different in nature.
Data erasure involves the use of software for wiping out data from hard drives and making it unreadable. This method is ideal for those who want to reuse their drives but looking for a way to completely erase all data before its next use. However, sometimes traces of sensitive data maybe recoverable.
Hard drive shredding refers to the physical data destruction including drilling and shredding of hard drives to tiny pieces. They render storage devices irrecoverable, that’s why it is the most secure way for data destruction and compliant with industry standards.
What is serialized certification?
When data is destroyed via software and/or physical methods according to the NSA, NIST 800-88 guidelines, DoD and similar regulations, the professional vendor like Hummingbird International are required to issue a serialized certification and audit report of the devices destroyed according to their serial numbers. The document also outlines the method, compliance and safe environment in which destruction was carried out for a particular device. This is an important part of responsible and professional data destruction process because it demonstrates compliance and in case of a legal situation, the customer can show proof of data destruction.
What is NSA-compliant shredding equipment?
NSA-approved equipment are machines which are designed according to strict standards for the purpose of complete drives destruction. They are made shredding hard drives and storage media devices to tiny pieces rendering them into e-waste materials—no trace of data can be recovered after a device goes through NSA-compliant equipment. This is required for handling and destruction of compliant data, classified government agency information, financial data, etc.
What are the different industry standards for data destruction?
Some of the most important industry standards and compliance when dealing with data destruction include: DoD, NSA, NAID, NIST 800-88 Compliant. They help client identify authentic, reliable and trustable data destruction service providers who follow them.
Where do the shredded materials go after destruction?
After hard drives and storage devices go through data destruction, the shredded materials must be disposed of to a safe location because they are bio hazards. For this purpose, they are sent to e-waste recyclers like Hummingbird International which specializes in safe and eco-friendly IT asset disposal.
Do you offer scheduled onsite data destruction services?
