Data Destruction Equipment

Data destruction is the process of destroying data saved in various media storage devices, such as hard disk drives (HDD), solid-state drives (SDD), flash drives and even smartphones and laptops. Data destruction is vital to many businesses, especially those that deal with sensitive information.

Having a secure data destruction program allows you to remain compliant with legal requirements and protect confidential information. Phiston Technologies is an industry leader in end-of-life data destruction, offering a wide range of data destruction devices to meet your needs.

The Importance of Secure Destruction of Data

In today’s Digital Age, organizations generate, collect and store tons of data-bearing assets. These organizations need to secure this data to remain compliant with laws such as the Privacy Act of 1974, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

When it’s time to retire a data-bearing asset, proper destruction is necessary to ensure the information on the device is irretrievable. Data destruction is more complex than deleting saved files, overwriting data or reformatting storage devices. Proper data compliance involves the physical destruction and metal separation to disintegrate media fully.

Shredding hard drives is the only secure way of permanently deleting data. It destroys the main source of data at its end of life and prevents retrieval of any kind. However, it’s important to note that data destruction machines like shredders also require a security level. Phiston Technologies provides media shredders that meet global data compliance laws, such as the EURO DIN 66399 and NIST 800-8rr1 guidelines.

Reliable Tools for Physical Data Destruction

There are two major types of data destruction — physical and non-physical data destruction. Non-physical data destruction is an insignificant way of destroying data using licensed technology. This process preserves the storage device, allowing you to reuse it to store new data. However, non-physical destruction is not an acceptable means of protecting data, companies, clients or sensitive information. “Wiping” or “erasing” data using any software program is not a compliant or secure way to destroy data.

Physical data destruction refers to the process of destroying the actual media storage devices, like HDDs. This method is required for organizations that store sensitive information because it removes all traces of data at the source of the physical device. While some people think punching holes into the device is an effective data destruction method, it is important to note that a screwdriver is not a solution. Secure data destruction is executed by using specialized equipment that is made to render devices physically beyond repair. A few examples of reliable data destruction devices include:

• MediaDice® All Media Disintegrator A2: This one-of-a-kind data destruction machine destroys all forms of media down to 2 millimeters in size. It is designed to operate automatically and produces recyclable e-waste.
• MediaDice® All Media Disintegrator A10: This device disintegrates all types of media down to 10 millimeters by 10 millimeters. It applies multiple stages of media shredding and separation processes for high-security data destruction.
• MediaVise® High Thru-Put SSD Destroyer: Need a compact, portable machine designed for high-volume destruction? This device is ideal for organizations that need to destroy large volumes of SSDs on their premises.
