Organisations in the UK and Europe have a legal obligation to securely erase data stored on IT memory. We ensure that all equipment is completely cleansed, including PCs, laptops, servers, printers, and smartphones. Our team uses specialist BitRaser software, which is ADISA-certified and Common Criteria certified, to securely erase data. If data cannot be safely erased, we physically destroy the hard drive or other internal memory using our facility’s industrial shredder, ensuring full compliance with data protection regulations.
By following these processes, we help organisations meet their obligations under both the Data Protection Act 2018, which governs how personal data must be handled and erased, and the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, which sets out requirements for secure data access and destruction. This ensures that all IT assets are processed safely, legally, and in line with current data protection laws.
