Hard Drive Destruction Services | Canoga Park, LA

Whether you’re an individual in Canoga Park, Van Nuys, or nearby, trying to dispose of an old hard drive, or an IT manager overseeing the shutdown of a data center, it’s critical to ensure your hard drives undergo complete hard drive destruction. Simply deleting files is not enough—sensitive information such as tax records, digital files, emails, health insurance portability records, and financial institutions’ data can still be recovered. That’s why professional hard drive destruction services are essential to prevent data breaches, identity theft, and other serious risks.

For businesses, this becomes even more crucial. Confidential information, including contracts, employee records, invoices, trade secrets, and electronic data, must be handled with strict care and proper secure disposal. Organizations are responsible for staying compliant with legal and regulatory requirements to safeguard electronically stored data and uphold their organization’s information security protocols.

Secure chain of custody: We begin by placing your electronic devices in secure, tamper-proof containers for pickup. These containers are transported in GPS-tracked, locked vehicles and are monitored 24/7. This tight chain ensures data protection from collection through complete destruction.

Inventory control: Each hard disk drive, solid state drive, flash drive, or floppy disk is documented. We create an itemized list with barcodes and serial numbers, removing all corporate identifying marks before the physical destruction begins.

Regulatory Compliance: Our destruction services meet or exceed government and industry-specific laws and regulations, including:

• • HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)
  • HITECH
  • FACTA
  • FERPA
  • PCI DSS
  • Gramm-Leach-Bliley
  • Sarbanes-Oxley

You can be confident that your electronic waste is handled responsibly and in full compliance.

Professional & Vetted Staff: Our team consists of trained, security-vetted technicians who follow strict secure data destruction protocols. They undergo background checks, sign confidentiality agreements, and receive continuous security training.

Industrial-Grade Shredders: Our destruction method includes using industrial-grade shredders capable of shredding hard drives into tiny pieces, making any chance of data recovery impossible. Even a few hard drives are treated with the same level of detail as entire bulk loads.

Proof of destruction: We provide a certificate of destruction that includes a detailed report of serial numbers for every drive or media device destroyed. This documentation supports data security, regulatory compliance, and audit trails.

Eco-Friendly E-Waste Recycling: After the shredding process, your hard drive remnants and hazardous waste components are properly sorted and recycled according to EPA standards—all under our 100% zero-landfill policy. This ensures proper disposal of your digital data and e-waste while protecting the environment.
