One-stop HDD destruction and confidential paper pulping. ISO 21964 certified, full documentation for GDPR & Personal Data Protection Act audits.
Our drive-destruction program pairs degaussing with physical destruction for a two-layer guarantee. It covers mechanical hard drives, solid-state drives, server and full data-center decommissioning, optical discs, and backup tapes — each routed through the appropriate ISO 21964 H/E/O/T track, and each documented with a NIST 800-88 / ISO 21964 certificate, serial manifest, and video record.
| Media Type | Destruction Method | Standard Level |
|---|---|---|
| HDD (Mechanical Drives) | Degauss + physical destruction | ISO 21964 H series |
| SSD (Solid-State Drives) | Chip shredding (cannot be degaussed) | ISO 21964 E series |
| Optical Discs CD/DVD/BD | Physical destruction of the data layer | ISO 21964 O series |
| Tape LTO/DAT | Degauss + physical cutting | ISO 21964 T series |
Degauss + physical destruction

ISO 21964 E seriesPhysical destruction of the data layer
ISO 21964 O seriesDegauss + physical cutting
ISO 21964 T seriesDegaussing makes the data unrecoverable; physical destruction makes it visibly, undeniably destroyed for auditors and boards
A magnetic field of 15,000 Oe or stronger erases the platter's magnetic recording, rendering data unrecoverable by design.
Drilling, bending, or industrial shredding leaves visible, verifiable damage on every platter.
Upgrade option: for classified, regulated or R&D material, industrial shredding achieves ISO 21964 H-5 (fragments ≤ 320 mm²) at the NIST Destroy level.

| Media | Destruction Method | Level Achieved | NIST 800-88 |
|---|---|---|---|
| HDD — Mechanical Hard Drives 3.5" / 2.5" / SATA / SAS / SCSI — drive retirement, refresh cycles, server decommissioning | Degauss + physical destruction | ISO 21964 H-5 (≤ 320 mm²) | Purge + Destroy |
| SSD / Chips / USB M.2 / NVMe / SD / memory cards — laptop refresh, server decommissioning | Physical destruction (cannot be degaussed) | ISO 21964 E-4 | Destroy |
| Optical — CD / DVD / Blu-ray CD-R/RW / DVD-R/RW / BD-R — annual purges, retired backup discs | Physical destruction (cannot be degaussed) | ISO 21964 O-4 (≤ 160 mm²) | Destroy |
| Tape — LTO / DAT / Floppy LTO-1–9 / DDS / 3.5" floppy / Zip — data-center moves and full decommissions | Degauss + physical cutting | ISO 21964 T-3 (≤ 320 mm²) | Purge + Destroy |
| Confidential Paper Pulping Contracts, ledgers, financials, medical records, customer lists, HR files | Pulping | ISO 21964 P-7 (highest) | — (not applicable to paper) |
Everyone says "destroyed" — the difference is whether it survives an audit
| Aspect | Typical Practice | Da Fon |
|---|---|---|
| Standards | No stated standard; verbal claims of "complete destruction" | Explicit mapping to NIST 800-88 and all five ISO 21964 series (H/E/O/T/P) |
| Documentation | Generic recycling receipts — no serials, no levels | Five-document set: certificate, manifest, level designation, video, downstream-disposal proof |
| Video Evidence | Rarely recorded; photos at best | Full video recording as standard, regardless of volume, at no extra charge |
| Service Models | Drop-off only; no on-site option | Three models: drop-off, secure pickup, or on-site shredding truck (media never leaves your premises) |
| Paper Destruction | Shredding only (P-1–P-3), reconstructable | Pulping to P-7 — physically unrecoverable |
