How It Works

From device collection to certificate of destruction.

A documented, auditable process for every device from the moment it leaves service.

01

Decommission Request

You raise a decommission request for a device or batch of devices. We confirm receipt and schedule collection or on-site processing.

02

Device Collection

Devices are collected from your site or handed over at an agreed point. Chain of custody begins at this stage.

03

Data Wipe

All storage media is wiped to NIST 800-88 or CESG standards. The wipe process is logged with device serial number and timestamp.

04

Verification

Wipe completion is verified and documented. Any device where wipe cannot be confirmed is physically destroyed.

05

Certificate Issued

A certificate of destruction is issued for every device, including device details, wipe method, and date. Sent to you within 5 working days.

06

Register Updated

The decommissioned device is removed from your asset register with a full disposal record. Your inventory stays accurate.

Real Results

How UK businesses protect themselves with secure decommissioning.

Financial Services Firm, London

A financial services company was disposing of old laptops through a general IT recycler with no data wiping confirmation. A data protection review flagged this as a GDPR risk.

Secure decommissioning process implemented. All 34 devices processed with certified data wipes and certificates of destruction. GDPR risk eliminated.

NHS-Contracted Provider, Midlands

A healthcare contractor needed to demonstrate secure disposal of devices holding patient data as part of their NHS data security and protection toolkit submission.

Full decommission audit trail and certificates of destruction provided. DSP Toolkit submission completed successfully with no data security findings.

Law Firm, Leeds

A law firm had 22 devices from departed staff sitting in a storage room with no clear process for secure disposal. Client data was potentially still on the devices.

All 22 devices processed within 5 working days. Certificates of destruction issued. Asset register updated. Client data risk fully resolved.
