Protecting your sensitive data is always be our top priority.

Once your computer network reaches its end of life and becomes obsolete, and your aged hard drives are no longer needed, it is important to dispose of them in a fashion which prevents any possibility of data mining by nefarious individuals who’s aim might be identity theft, or something worse.

MRC offers many options in data destruction to make sure your needs are met and your data is handled properly.  All methods that MRC uses and offers make sure that your data will no longer be retrievable from any standards.  We also use an outside data forensics lab to verify that the methods we use renders all data irretrievable.  All data destruction methods are available with Certificates of Destruction.  Below is a list of services we use and are available to our customers.

Secure Data Sanitization

Our data wiping system serializes and generates a certificate of destruction for all drives.  Any hard drives that fail the wiping procedure or are unable to be discovered by the system is put through our shredder or degausser to make sure that your data is completely irretrievable.  Our standard method of wiping is the US DoD 5220.22-M 3 Pass wiping method.  However the below are also available upon request.

Hole Punch

We offer hole punching at our Imperial facility and on-site as needed.  The hole punch uses a large metal rod that punches down through the center of your hard drive rendering it unusable.

Hard Drive Shredding

We offer Hard Drive Shredding at our Facility or on-site at your location.  MRC utilizes a Ameri-Shred AMS 750 HDD - SSD Shredder. The hard drive shredder breaks down your hard drive into tiny little pieces that make data retrieval impossible.  This method is used for those that need or want their physical drives completely destroyed.  

Degaussing

MRC utilizes the SITES Model MMD-1000HS High Security, NSA Evaluated Pulse Degausser to ensure complete erasure of sensitive data:
 
SITES MMD-1000HS High Security, NSA Evaluated Pulse Degausser:  This is a highly capable and robust degausser that produces a maximum demagnetizing field (coercive force) of greater than 20,000 Gauss, which is many times above the field required to demagnetize the highest density hard disks as of today and the near future.

We offer hard drive destruction at our facility to ensure your personal and business information is forever unrecoverable, and provide certificates of destruction upon request. You can even come in and watch us do it.
