Securis’ secure and environmentally sound solutions

For Federal Government IT asset disposition

Per the GSA, The United States Federal government is the largest single purchaser and user of electronic assets. While re-use is recommended to the degree possible, when assets can no longer be used or repaired, disposal must occur through certified vendors. For more than 20 years, we have provided the highest standard of IT recycling and media sanitization services, including purge (wipe) or destroy, to most government agencies. U.S. Government agencies wishing to responsibly dispose of their end-of-life or obsolete devices while maintaining the highest level of data security rely on Securis for our unique end-to-end data destruction and recycling process. We provide nationwide computer recycling services at our NAID and R2V3-certified facilities or at your facility through our mobile IT asset disposition services. Our process has been designed and certified to meet or exceed all NSA (2mm shredding), GSA eWaste, DLA Information Service, and NIST 800-88 standards, including classified data.

Securis holds a schedule 36 GSA contract. Our contract number is GS-03F-0068V. Our GSA and other contracts cover on-site and off-site shredding services, degaussing services, and IT asset recycling and include certificates of destruction and inventory reporting. We are certified by the Defense Logistics Information Service to store and transport military critical technical data. Our certification number is 0051653. We also work with some of the largest government contractors in the world to provide secure destruction and recycling services as a subcontractor for large-scale governmental IT contracts. We can provide details on our past performance and references upon request.

Data Decommissioning, NSA-approved Disintegration methods

Securis guarantees complete physical and/or electronic destruction of your data. These services can be provided at Securis’ secure facilities or onsite at the client’s offices, which allows the destruction process to be witnessed and eliminates the chain of custody. We are an R2v3 certified facility, and any e-waste is responsibly recycled.

Securis employs different methods to ensure that your electronics are completely sanitized before any value recovery or recycling occurs. Securis will first work with you to assess the level of security required and the kind of media that needs to be sanitized. Based on this information, a data destruction plan will be created.

Methods deployed by Securis include:

Wiping: This method employs software to wipe data. Wiping is a more sustainable solution than shredding, as equipment can be reused.
Degaussing: Degaussing is the process of totally erasing data by reducing or eliminating an unwanted magnetic field (information) stored on tape and disk media. Securis uses an industrial degausser approved by the National Security Agency, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication Series 800-88, and The Department of Defense. While degaussing services are not necessary for every situation, sometimes they are required as part of the secure destruction process by Federal Law. Classified information often requires the process of degaussing followed by physical destruction to ensure all critical information is completely destroyed. Degaussing services can be done on-site at a customer’s location or off-site at Securis’ NAID-certified facility.
Shredding:. Shredding electronic devices is the standard for secure destruction. Depending on your requirements, Securis can shred your hard drives, backup tapes, cell phones, and any other data storage device on-site or off-site. While off-site service is more cost-effective, On-site service allows the destruction process to be witnessed and eliminates the chain of custody. If shredding occurs on-site, the shredded material is transferred back to our secure facility for environmentally friendly recycling. Residual material is domestically recycled and refined.
Disintegration: To ensure the absolute destruction of smaller devices such as Solid State Drives (SSDs), flash drives, and micro SD cards, Securis has added a disintegration option that goes beyond traditional shredding and pulverizes devices into NSA approved 2MM e-crumbs (shown in the photo on the right). Securis can handle any number of hard drives, backup tapes, CDs, cell phones, PDAs, memory devices, and X-rays.

Mobile data destruction services avaialable

We Can Come to you!

Our mobile services include a truck fleet with generators that don’t require power at the customer site. These trucks have integrated data destruction capabilities, as described above. In addition to sending a mobile truck, we can also send storm cases that lock and are sealed by the customer. The customer then securely ships them to a local office for processing. In fact, the US Government allows classified information to be transmitted by US Registered for express mail. Using our mobile services and storm case supply, we have served numerous clients throughout the U.S.

Sustainable E-Waste Recycling

Federal agencies are required to dispose of electronics assets in an environmentally responsible way as outlined in GSA Bulletin FMR B-34 Disposal of Federal Electronic Assets. FMR B-34 requires Federal Electronic Asset (FEA) recyclers to be R2 certified. Securis is R2 certified, having passed rigorous audits by an independent third party to evaluate recycling practices in more than 50 areas of operational and environmental performance. R2 is the leading standard for the electronics recycling industry, ensuring practices that protect the environment, human health, safety, and the security of the recycling process. We are dedicated to green recycling practices for each piece of equipment – whether intact, refurbished, or broken down for scrap to ensure harmful chemicals do not end up in our landfills.

Securis is fully Compliant and Certified

Both our on-site and off-site service options are fully compliant with all National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication Series 800-88 and National Industrial Security Program (NISP) Operating Manual (DoD 5220.22-M). Our destruction services can be tailored to meet the needs of any destruction standard, from basic destruction to the highest-level classified material.
