Secure Data Destruction and Compliance for Australian Business
Why certificates of destruction matter for privacy and tenders.
Summary
Secure destruction of hard drives and data storage is required when equipment holds sensitive or personal data. Certificates of destruction provide proof for audits, privacy obligations and tenders. Electronics Recycler offers Hard Drive and Data Storage Secure Destruction with documentation, servicing Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra.
When Secure Destruction Is Required
Any device that has stored confidential, personal or regulated data should be destroyed in a way that prevents recovery. That includes HDDs, SSDs and other storage media. Relying on deletion or reformatting is not sufficient for compliance in typical enterprise and government contexts.
Certificates of Destruction
A certificate of destruction documents that specific devices were destroyed on a given date and (where applicable) by what method. This supports Privacy Act obligations, contractual requirements and tender responses that ask for evidence of secure disposal. We provide such documentation as part of our secure destruction service.
Bulk and Pickup
We are a bulk recycler. Complimentary pickup for secure destruction is contingent on sufficient volume; we will work with you to determine eligibility.
