Hard
drive Sanitizing:
At Recycle Techs we take data removal
very seriously. We understand the importance of securely
removing all data from all hard drives to keep our clients
and their customer's information confidential. That
is why every drive is securely wiped before the product
is recycled. We use professional software that removed the data and writes over the disk. We DO NOT format which is proven to not remove data. We have 4 different data removal
options:
Single-pass quick sanitize
method (Free):
A quick, single-pass
sanitize method, that overwrites all disk data with
zero characters.
This type of sanitizing is able to stop all software
recovery tools (un-format and un-erase tools, low level
disk editors, etc.) from recovering the original data
stored on disk.
This is the U.S. Department of Defense approved
method for clearing disks, but not for sanitizing disks
with secret information.
We include this
method for free on every working hard drive that comes
through our facility to show our commitment to secure
data removal.
Triple-pass
Navy standards method ($4.99 per drive):
A three
pass sanitize method conforming to Navy Staff Office
Publication #5239 and Information Systems Security (INFO
SEC) Program Guidelines, which is issued by the Naval
Information Systems Management Center.
Seven-pass
DOD sanitizing method ($9.99 per drive):
A
high security seven pass sanitize method performed to
the U.S. Department of Defense standards (DOD
5220.22-M). With
more federal regulations being passed to protect
customer information, large institutions and small
businesses will need to securely destroy all sensitive
data from storage devices using this method.
Shredding sanitizing
method ($9.99 per drive):
The
highest form of sanitizing. Each hard drive is rendered
unusable and shredded beyond recognition.
Our
donation centers include:
Goodwill, The ARC, Salvation Army, various schools and
organizations. |
