Two methods, one guarantee: nothing readable leaves your custody. Software erasure for drives that will be reused, physical shredding for anything that won’t — and a certificate either way.
The same chain-of-custody record that follows every Spenwill collection, focused on your media.
Media is collected in sealed, tracked containers. Custody transfers on signature and the record opens.
Each drive is recorded against your account by serial number, so every unit is individually accounted for.
Software erasure to a recognised standard, or physical shredding — witnessed and logged as it happens.
Results are verified and a certificate is generated per device, then bundled into your collection report.
Yes. A certificate of destruction is generated per device and tied to its serial number, then bundled into your collection report.
If the drive will be reused or resold, verified software erasure keeps the value. If it won’t, or the data is highly sensitive, physical shredding is the safest route. We’ll advise per device.
For high-sensitivity environments we can arrange on-site options so media never leaves your premises intact. Ask us when you book.
POPIA requires you to dispose of personal information so it can’t be reconstructed. Certified destruction with a chain-of-custody record gives you the evidence that you did.
Book a collection with data destruction, and we’ll close the loop with a certificate per device.
