Physical and Permanent Destruction of Data Storage
Physical and permanent destruction of data storage involves the irreversible destruction of information stored on hardware such as hard drives, SSDs, magnetic tapes, and optical discs. Wiping or formatting alone does not completely destroy data. Therefore, physical methods such as drilling, crushing, grinding, or melting at high temperatures are employed. This means that data on the hardware cannot be recovered.
Our company implements the highest security standards in the physical destruction process. We determine the appropriate destruction method depending on the type of device used. For example, hard drives are shredded with industrial crushers, SSDs are melted at high temperatures, and magnetic tapes are destroyed in specialized shredders. All these processes are documented, and certified reports are provided to our customers. This ensures not only physical destruction but also legal assurance.
Today, data leaks pose billions of dollars in risks for organizations. The secure destruction of data storage has become particularly critical in sectors such as finance, healthcare, public services, and telecommunications. The European Union's GDPR and Turkey's KVKK regulations have placed significant obligations on institutions in this regard. Therefore, physical data destruction has become not just a service but a legal obligation.
Our physical and permanent data storage destruction service maximizes our customers' information security. Thanks to our company, institutions ensure legal compliance while eliminating the risk of data leaks.
