100% Guaranteed Secure Data-Destruction

ProTek Recycling offers 100% guaranteed data destruction options to securely and quickly destroy your information.

At ProTek, we understand the importance of protecting sensitive information and ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations. That’s why we offer secure data destruction services to help companies properly destroy their data.

Our Data Destruction Process:

Your work ends here!	Step 1: 1. Request our data destruction services. You’ll need to provide information about what type and quantity of equipment you have for data destruction.
	Step 2: 2. ProTek will provide pricing and prepare a contract for NAID AAA data destruction services.
	Step 3: 3. Gather your equipment for data destruction and any extra equipment for recycling in one place.
ProTek goes to work!	Step 4: 4. Our crews personally pick up your equipment for data destruction directly from your office, establishing custody, and bring it straight back to our facility and stored in a secure cage prior to destruction.
	Step 5: 5. ProTek’s professional trained staff destroy all the data on all of the storage devices.
	Step 6: 6. ProTek sends you a certificate of destruction with a serialized list of data containing devices that were destroyed

Please note, unlike some of our competitors, we do not use subcontractors or third parties to pick up, transfer, or handle equipment for data destruction. It is important to have custody transfer directly from our clients to us to protect their data, so when you contract ProTek for data destruction, you work exclusively with ProTek the entire time!

Proper planning is also very important for the successful execution of our data destruction services.  When you request these services, please have an accurate count of the equipment for data destruction as this allows us to best secure and handle your equipment throughout the data destruction process. Large quantities of hard drives or equipment for data destruction are certainly not an issue, but we do need to know about large volumes to plan accordingly.

Storage devices (hard drives, tape drives, etc.) can either be left in or taken out of the equipment before we pick them up.

Are you interested in on-site Data Destruction?

Some things to keep in mind:

• Hard drives that are not operational cannot be destroyed with software destruction methods.
• Equipment for physical destruction can be very expensive to purchase and install.
• Physical destruction leaves you with debris and material that are tough to recycle.
• Machinery to shred or physically destroy devices can have dangerous mechanisms; stay safe!
• Hard drives must be removed from electronics, which can take extra tools and your employees’ valuable time.
• Magnetic degaussing only works on magnetically stored data and will not work on solid state drives.

Before you waste valuable time and effort trying to do it yourself, call ProTek Recycling!  ProTek Recycling offers physical shredding services to destroy your hard drives, tape drives, cell phones, and other data-containing devices. With our shredders on the road and in our facility, we have multiple solutions for your data destruction needs!  Call us today!

Comprehensive Guide to Data Destruction Services at ProTek Recycling

In the era of digital information, ensuring the security and confidentiality of data is paramount. ProTek Recycling stands at the forefront of this vital mission, offering unrivaled data destruction services that guarantee the irretrievable elimination of sensitive information. This article delves into the sophisticated techniques and compliance standards upheld by ProTek, ensuring your peace of mind in an increasingly data-driven world.

Innovative Techniques in Data Eradication

ProTek Recycling utilizes a dual-method approach to data destruction, ensuring versatility and effectiveness.

1. Physical Shredding: The Ultimate Guarantee The physical shredding method is a foolproof way to eliminate data. This process involves the complete physical destruction of storage devices, resulting in a mixture of indecipherable fragments, thereby ensuring the total eradication of data.
2. Digital Overwriting: The Smart Erasure Technique Digital overwriting is a meticulous process that involves the systematic erasure of data from storage media. This method ensures that the data is not just deleted but replaced, making recovery impossible. The process is complemented by an independent verification procedure, affirming the irrecoverability of data.

Clients have the liberty to choose between these methods, with ProTek accommodating specific preferences for data destruction.

Secure Data Destruction for Diverse Storage Devices

ProTek’s expertise extends to a wide range of storage devices, ensuring comprehensive data security across various platforms. The list includes, but is not limited to:

• Enclosed hard drives (desktops, laptops, servers)
• External storage devices (USBs, CDs/DVDs)
• Mobile devices (smartphones, tablets)
• Legacy media (floppy disks, reel-to-reel tapes)

Certificates of Destruction: Your Assurance of Compliance

Upon completion of the data destruction process, ProTek provides a Certificate of Destruction. This document serves as a testament to the thoroughness of the procedure, detailing the specifics of the destroyed equipment, thereby aiding in regulatory compliance.

Beyond Data: Comprehensive Product Destruction Services

Recognizing the evolving needs of clients, ProTek offers NAID AAA certified product destruction services. This service is tailored for both proprietary and general electronic equipment, ensuring the complete destruction of the products.

Adherence to Regulatory Standards for Peace of Mind

ProTek’s services align with critical regulatory frameworks, including HIPAA and NIST Special Publication 800-88 Revision 1 guidelines. This adherence underscores our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of data security and regulatory compliance.

Cost-Effective Professional Data Destruction

While cost is a significant consideration, the expertise and equipment ProTek offers far outweigh the risks and expenses of in-house data destruction attempts. Our professional services provide assurance of complete data eradication, adhering to strict industry standards and regulations.
