Our Data Destruction Methods
Deleting files or formatting devices does not permanently remove data. Even when systems are upgraded or replaced, residual data can still be recovered unless proper destruction methods are applied.
As data destruction specialists, we follow strict, audited procedures and use methods approved to military and government standards. Whether you are protecting your business reputation, intellectual property, or client information, we ensure your data is rendered completely unreadable and unusable.
We securely destroy data from:
Hard drives & SSDs
Servers & tape drives
Mobile phones & tablets
Memory cards & USB devices
Other electronic storage media
Certified Software Data Erasure (YouWipe)
We use YouWipe, a globally recognised data erasure solution certified by leading authorities including government agencies and independent security organisations.
YouWipe complies with and exceeds major international standards such as:
GDPR
Data Protection Act
HIPAA
PCI DSS
SOX
FACTA
After erasure, you receive a digitally signed, tamper-proof Certificate of Erasure for each device, providing a complete audit trail for compliance and peace of mind.
This process allows IT equipment to be safely refurbished and reused, supporting sustainability and reducing electronic waste.
Degaussing
For storage media that cannot be securely erased using software, we offer on-site degaussing.
Degaussing permanently destroys data by eliminating the magnetic fields on hard drives and tape media. Once degaussed, the data becomes irretrievable and the device cannot be reused, ensuring absolute security.
Physical Shredding
When software wiping or degaussing is not suitable, we provide mechanical destruction using our in-house recycling plant.
Devices are shredded into small, unrecognisable fragments, making any form of data recovery impossible. This method is ideal for highly sensitive or damaged equipment.
Your data has zero chance of survival with Elite UK IT Trading Company.
