· Once wiped, tested and asset recorded any complete PC units for re-sale are then passed to our Equipment Preparation Department where all signs of previous ownership are removed or disguised.

· If the drive fails to wipe, it is removed from the PC and crushed prior to transportation to our specialist metals recycling partner, using National Computer Recycling transport and personnel, where they are ground down to their final powder state.

Security Standards

Our data destruction processes achieve the highest security standards, including Infosec 5. This protects your confidential business data and ensures compliance with data protection legislation and software licensing agreements.

National Computer Recycling continually evaluates the offerings from authors of data destruction programs to ensure the highest standards of security. We are once more leading the way through an accredited partnership with Blancco UK.

· We use exacting, quality-controlled, fully documented procedures to ensure 100% erasure of your data and identification. Below is an example of our processes relating to data & identification erasure:

· An Infosec standard wipe of the hard drive is carried out using Blancco Software.

· When successful, a 'Hard Drive Sanitised' label is attached to the item and a software generated certificate produced as confirmation of erasure. The Engineer enters their name and date within the Data Erasure field as part of our internal recording and audit process.
