Data Destruction Equipment
in Canada
Trusted by the Largest Tech Organizations in the World





Organizations across Canada face strict obligations under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and provincial privacy legislation to protect sensitive information throughout its life cycle. When storage media reaches end of life, physical destruction is the only method recognized by regulators for securing sensitive data.
Phiston Technologies delivers engineered data destruction equipment that Canadian businesses trust to meet regulatory requirements.
Canadian Data Security Equipment and Destruction Solutions
From Toronto and Ottawa to Vancouver, Phiston Technologies’ expansive equipment line provides data centers, IT asset disposition facilities, government agencies and enterprises with certified destruction capabilities. Our user-friendly solutions include:
Hard Drive Shredders
For high-volume destruction needs requiring maximum security:
MediaDice® All Media Disintegrator A2: Processes 480 hard drives hourly, reducing media to 2mm x 2mm particles. Designed to help organizations adhere to DIN 66399 Level 3 standards with automatic jam recovery technology.
MediaDice® Combo Disintegrator: High-volume shredder handling over 1,000 HDDs or 500 SSDs per hour, engineered for large-scale decommissioning projects requiring rapid throughput.
Hard Drive Crushers
For secure on-site destruction:
MediaVise® Compact SSD Destroyer: This desktop unit delivers 20 tons of crushing force in under 30 seconds, using 187 interlocking steel teeth to physically destroy solid-state drives.
MediaVise® Rackmount HDD Destroyer: NSA-listed rack-mountable solution with locking drawer, designed for data center integration within standard nine-unit server configurations.
Every unit ships with complete warranty coverage and technical support.
Meeting National Data Protection Requirements
Hard drive destruction standards demand physical destruction that meets government and industry specifications. Our equipment helps organizations satisfy Canada’s most stringent compliance obligations across federal and provincial jurisdictions.
PIPEDA-Compliant Shredding
The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act requires reasonable safeguards for the disposal of information. Physical destruction via our range of disintegrators and crushers provides the level of security that regulatory audits demand, going beyond software-based erasure methods that leave data structures intact.
Provincial Data Protection
Compliance with Quebec privacy law and other provincial regulations imposes additional duties on organizations that handle resident information. Our equipment is designed to help organizations adhere to NIST SP 800-88 purge standards, providing documentation-ready destruction for regulatory examinations.
Canadian Government Data Destruction Requirements
Federal agencies and contractors must comply with Treasury Board policies for the disposal of protected information. Our machines align with NSA guidelines that closely mirror Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS) levels, supporting compliance frameworks from Parliament Hill to coast-to-coast deployments.

I’m pleased to share that the new crusher (MV-HDD) is performing exceptionally, significantly better than our old one. It handles hard drives efficiently, including IDE magnetic spinners and SATA drives.
It’s also great to see that, as per the manual, the crusher can handle cellular phones, adding to its versatility. The processing time is efficient, taking just 33 to 35 seconds per load.
Overall, this crusher is proving to be both effective and efficient.

The performance of the MD-HTP-A2 from Phiston has created a need in Sweden,
and I must say the upgrades they have done recently have been fabulous.

Phiston has been a fantastic partner for us, they listen to their customer, invent and simplify to our needs and stand behind their product; in my opinion, they are the only true high-volume media destruction game in town.

The Phiston team was not only able to provide a product well within our timeline goals, but they also worked closely with us through the proof of concept process, allowing us to fully understand and provide input to drive exactly what we wanted.
Ali, Raul, and their teams partnered closely with us from start to finish and delivered the solutions we needed to address Hard Drives, SSD’s & Flash media, and we now have a solution to shred network assets.
