On-Site Hard Drive Destruction Services
How We Protect Your Data
On-site data erasure
Off-site data erasure
Erasure of all media types
Meets NIST 800-88 erasure standard
IT equipment holds sensitive information, such as passwords, financial reports, saved credit cards, personal images, intellectual property, internal correspondence, or payroll. Often, this information is stolen after the equipment is retired and disposed of.
To prevent your data from being compromised, exIT Technologies provides several options for data destruction on hard drives, solid state drives, and all other forms of media. We also provide data destruction for network attached storage (NAS) and storage area networks (SAN), including all-flash and hybrid arrays.
We follow strict data destruction guidelines, such as the standard DoD triple pass overwrite, but can also adhere to industry specific data erasure standards such as NIST. We include any and all documentation necessary to maintain strict compliance, including chain of custody documentation and certificates of destruction any time you sell used servers/IT equipment or contract us for data sanitization.
Secure Chain of Custody
Maintaining a Secure Chain of Custody is fundamental to our data destruction process at Exit Technologies. We recognize that your data-bearing assets are more than just hardware; they represent your organization’s integrity, trustworthiness, and regulatory compliance. That’s why we’ve developed a meticulous system to track and protect your equipment from the moment we pick it up until it’s thoroughly destroyed.
Our process begins with a detailed inventory and labeling of all hardware received, including serial numbers and unique identifiers. Our vehicles are equipped with top security measures to safeguard your hardware during transportation. Upon arrival at our facility or location, your equipment is stored in a secure, monitored environment.
Once the destruction begins, we employ cutting-edge techniques to eliminate the data on your devices. We maintain a detailed log of every action taken throughout this process, ensuring complete accountability.

We Bring Data Destruction to You
For onsite data destruction, we can provide as many of our custom-built data destruction racks as necessary to complete the project within your timeline.
If preferred, we can also provide drive shredding solutions on site, as well as degaussing. For peace of mind, we can wipe thousands of drives daily so that no data ever leaves your facility.
We can even securely wipe all of your drives rapidly before you even pull them from their systems.

Our approach begins with a comprehensive assessment of your hardware, considering the type of devices, their quantity, and the nature of the data they contain. We also consider your specific security concerns and any regulatory obligations you may have. This thorough evaluation allows us to craft a data destruction plan that aligns perfectly with your organization’s objectives.
Whether you require on-site or off-site destruction, we can accommodate your preferences. Our experienced team will work closely with you to design a plan that maximizes efficiency while maintaining the highest security and compliance standards.
