Certified & Audited Hard Drive Destruction
Auditors from all industries require organizations to vet their vendors, especially hard drive destruction and data security vendors. Our NAID Certification satisfies your third-party due diligence requirement. E-Waste Security’s hard drive destruction practices are certified and audited by NAID and iSigma.
NAID AAA Certification requires data destruction service providers to meet stringent criteria to ensure the secure destruction of sensitive information. Included are employee training and background checks, approved policies and procedures, physical security, approved commercial equipment and destruction methods.
Certificate of Data Destruction
A Certificate of Destruction provides a clear, auditable, and legal record that data destruction has been carried out according to best practices and regulatory requirements. The COD is a critical component of your hard drive and data destruction process.
E-Waste Security’s Certificate of Destruction goes beyond auditors’ requirements and expectations. We offer full NIST 800-88 reporting, including the drive make, model, type, serial number, and parent machine. We believe in secure data destruction through organized processes and detailed documentation.

Hard Drive Destruction Best Practices
Best practices for hard drive destruction projects consist of maintaining control of your digital media information until the data is fully destroyed. This is key to compliance with data privacy laws and destruction guidelines.
To accomplish this, vet your data destruction vendor internally or use a third-party auditor such as NAID. Have the shredding company come to your location so you can witness and verify that the media has been destroyed. Finally, get a signed Certificate of Destruction detailing the who, how, and when the shredding occurred.
Onsite hard drive shredding is the most secure and compliant in the industry. Your hard drives can no longer be used, nor can data ever be recovered. The threat of information exposure and data breach is effectively controlled.
Secure Data Destruction Process
We are not your typical e-waste recycling company. We’re certified by NAID which means you can trust our best-in-class hard drive and digital media destruction service. Our hard drive destruction process follows stringent policies and procedures to mitigate all threats to information security. Are you wondering how it is done? Check out our high-level overview of our data destruction process.
#1 - Create a Secure Area
We’ll gather all your hard drives in one central and secure location, such as your office or data center. This is where we’ll record the serial numbers and pack the drives to transport them to our mobile destruction unit. You will accompany us during the recording and destruction process.
#2 - Inventory Serial Numbers
We’re all about the documentation — and we’re good at it, too. For clients complying with NIST, we’ll scan and record each hard drive’s serial number, make, model, and other crucial details. We’ll use this information to generate a comprehensive of Destruction for your records.
#3 - Physical Destruction
Our destruction process is efficient—our shredding equipment can destroy over 1,300 hard drives per hour. This fast throughput allows you to witness the entire process and then quickly get back to your other productive activities.
#4 - Certificate of Destruction
Lastly, we’ll produce the necessary documentation needed to formally state that your hard drives were properly destroyed. The Certificate of Destruction will detail the employee from your business that witnessed the process. Your CISO or auditor.
