    Destruction Methods

    Software Erasure

    HDD / SSD

    Multi-pass overwrite to DOD 5220.22-M or NIST 800-88 standard. Functional drives can be repurposed after erasure.

    • 3-pass overwrite
    • Verification pass
    • Certificate per serial number

    Physical Shredding

    Any media

    Drives, SSDs, USB drives, and tapes are physically shredded to particles — the only option for failed or encrypted media.

    • On-site or off-site shredding
    • Particle size <6mm
    • Weight report included

    Degaussing

    HDD / Tape

    High-power magnetic field eliminates all data on spinning drives and magnetic tape. Fast and effective for large volumes.

    • NSA/CSS-listed degausser
    • Renders drive non-functional
    • Certificate included

    Who Needs Certified Data Destruction?

    Finance & Banking

    Bank Negara MyCERT guidelines and PDPA 2010 require secure disposal of customer data held on decommissioned hardware.

    Healthcare

    Patient records and medical data are protected under PDPA. Improper disposal of storage media containing patient data is a criminal offence.

    Government & GLC

    ISO 27001 and government IT security policies mandate certified destruction with chain-of-custody records.

    Enterprises & SMEs

    PDPA 2010 applies to all companies holding personal data. Decommissioning PCs, laptops, or servers without data sanitization creates legal exposure.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can you collect from our office in Klang Valley or Selangor?

    Yes — we offer secure on-site collection with chain-of-custody documentation. Drives are sealed and logged before leaving your premises.

    Is the data destruction certificate accepted for audits?

    Yes. Our certificates include device serial numbers, destruction method, date, and technician sign-off. They are accepted for ISO 27001 audits, PDPA compliance reviews, and ESG reports.

    What if our drives are encrypted — do they still need to be destroyed?

    Cryptographic erasure (destroying the encryption key) is considered secure under NIST 800-88 for AES-256 encrypted drives. We can certify this method or physically shred the drives if your policy requires it.

    Can you handle large volumes — a full server room decommission?

    Yes. We handle single drives through to full data centre decommissions. Contact us for a volume quote.
