Certified Data-Bearing Device Process

Hard Drive Destruction with Chain-of-Custody Evidence

Hard drives are handled under strict intake controls with verified wipe-or-destroy outcomes and reporting suitable for regulated environments.

Supports schools, hospitals, banks, CPAs, law firms, and enterprise operations that require verifiable media disposition.

Covered Device Types

  • HDDs
  • SSDs
  • Server drives

Verified Process Flow

  1. Media is received and logged into controlled custody workflows.
  2. Each drive is verified and evaluated for sanitization eligibility.
  3. Sanitizable drives are wiped with verifiable methods.
  4. Non-sanitizable or failed media is physically destroyed as scrap.
  5. Final reports provide accountability for every batch and device set.

Why Locked Devices Still Create Risk

  • Physical possession does not guarantee data inaccessibility.
  • Locked or failed drives still require certified final disposition.
  • Unverified processing leaves unresolved breach exposure.

Required Outcome

If a hard drive cannot be unlocked and wiped, it is scrap and must be destroyed under certified controls.
