Government Data Destruction Solutions

Security is essential when organizations handle classified information, official data and personally identifiable information. Government agencies at every level hold large volumes of sensitive information.

From government contractors to organizations operating within U.S. and global governments, these entities must completely erase data on end-of-life devices — not simply delete it. Phiston’s solutions ensure the complete physical destruction of every type of media utilized by governments around the globe, including old laptops, hard disk drives (HDD) and solid state drives (SSD), phones, switches and any other digital storage device, rendering data unusable. Physically destroying devices is the only truly secure data destruction method.

There are many reasons government agencies should invest in an on-site data destruction program using Phiston’s patented technology.

Compliance

Regulations and legislation regarding data destruction are evolving to combat growing security threats. In the United States and around the globe, government entities work within a strict data compliance framework and are tasked with protecting confidential information even when it’s no longer needed.

In the United States, the Department of Defense (DoD), the National Security Agency (NSA), the Federal Trade Commission and most U.S. states have laws and clear guidelines for data destruction. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU mandates specific steps for destroying data and the associated hardware. 

Noncompliance with these standards puts government agencies at risk of potential data breaches, hefty fines, loss of public trust and even compromised national security. Phiston’s wide range of data destruction equipment is engineered to comply with the most stringent data protection regulations established by governments.

Controlled Data Destruction Processes

Sensitive government data must always be accounted for, even during data erasure. Outsourcing data destruction can be cumbersome as it requires monitoring and tracking shipments to a vendor’s destruction facility as well as a Certificate of Data Destruction.

Verify proper deletion every step of the way with an in-house program complemented by secure and compliant data destruction equipment from Phiston Technologies. Our products give government agencies complete control over data sanitization, reducing the risk of data management vulnerabilities.

Environmentally Responsible Disposal

According to the General Services Administration (GSA), Government agencies must participate in the eco-friendly disposal of electronic assets. Phiston’s robust environmental policies and procedures ensure proper electronic waste (e-waste) handling. Our drive destruction equipment prevents harmful waste from polluting the environment while recovering valuable resources for reuse.
