Chain of Custody in Onsite Data Destruction Services
Onsite Data Destruction Services involve the physical pulverization of storage media (HDDs, SSDs, and LTO tapes) within a secure, mobile environment. This process is governed by the "NIST 800-88" standard for media sanitization.
The technical core of the service is the "Mobile Shredding Unit." For traditional hard drives, high-torque shearing blades deform the platters, making data recovery via magnetic force microscopy impossible. However, Solid State Drives (SSDs) require a "Micro-shred" or "Disintegration" process. Because data on SSDs is stored in high-density NAND flash chips, the media must be reduced to a particle size of $2$mm or less to ensure that no individual memory chip remains intact. The service concludes with a "Certificate of Destruction," which links the serial number of each destroyed asset to a timestamped video log for audit compliance.
