When disposing of your equipment, tossing hard drives without properly removing the information they contain can cost you money. Your business needs to ensure that all of your data is appropriately disposed of and that you aren’t putting you or your customer’s information at risk. By degaussing and then shredding your hard drives with an IT asset disposition (ITAD) company, you can protect your data and save your organization money. 

These steps use a variety of destruction methods to help keep your data safe from an expensive and embarrassing data breach. 

Step One: An Audited Equipment Collection

The first step to avoiding a data breach in your end-of-life equipment is to ensure that the company you hire to collect said equipment can provide you with an auditable and trackable IT inventory list. 

For example, at Securis, we tag every item we collect with an internal bar code and strip off all identifying information on the outside of your equipment. This also helps protect the chain of custody. By having a record of what’s been collected, it’s clear what has been handed over to your ITAD company. 

Step Two: Degaussing Hard Drives

After taking inventory of everything, it’s time to destroy the data. Before jumping to the shredder, you may want to consider degaussing your hard drives first. The degaussing process destroys information by changing the magnetic domain of the hard drive. 

While solid state drives (SSDs) aren’t able to be degaussed, we have microshredding data destruction and recycling services available for them. 

Step Three: Shred Hard Drives

After degaussing your larger magnetic hard drives, it’s time to throw them into our traditional shredder. While a degausser renders all data unusable, the degaussed hard drives still look the same as a perfectly functioning hard drive. 

 

Why is that a problem? If you put the two hard drives side by side, you may get them confused and accidentally recycle one that still has your information on it. By shredding, you ensure that you’re disposing of the proper equipment. Hard drive shredding will render all data unusable. 

Shredding services destroy SSDs and other smaller pieces of equipment. However, these cannot go into a regular shredder as they can slip through the cracks. For SSDs and other small data-containing devices, we use our microshredder. 

Step Four: Use a Certified ITAD Company to Recycle

By trusting environmentally responsible ITAD companies to recycle your unwanted and destroyed electronic equipment, you keep metals, plastics, and other perfectly usable materials out of our landfills! By choosing an R-2 certified company to dispose of your end-of-life equipment properly, you may protect yourself from lawsuits and data breaches. 

Securis can provide you with a certificate of destruction. This is beneficial for auditing purposes and peace of mind. With our services, you know that your hard drives and other equipment are being properly recycled with the circular economy at the forefront of our minds. 

Why?

Morgan Stanley is paying a $35 million fine to settle claims because they failed to protect the personal information of 15 million people. From 2015 to 2020, they improperly disposed of their hard drives. By selling these online without properly removing customer information, anyone who bought them had access to this information. 

Rather than using a company like Securis that has decades of experience disposing of information, Morgan Stanley used a moving and storage company that had no ITAD experience. The company they entrusted to protect their customer’s information sold thousands of the devices that they collected. 

Data security is vital to your customers in this day and age. Finding an ITAD company that you can trust with data destruction is vital. When you fail to protect your customers’ personal information, you can cost your company millions of dollars. 

End-of-life electronics contain precious metals and elements, such as gold, silicon, platinum, and more. Your end-of-life computers and IT assets must be worth a fortune, right? Not exactly, but there are ways that IT departments can maximize the value of old IT equipment. The greatest value is when computers can be repurposed and upcycled, but some equipment is too damaged and must be dismantled and sold for scrap. 

Can You Make Money from End-Of-Life Electronics?

How IT Departments Can Maximize IT Asset Value

It may be tempting for an organization to keep employees on old technology. New electronic equipment is expensive, there’s downtime for installations and training, and any upgrade is disrupting. However, a survey recently found that $1.8 trillion (not a typo – TRILLION!) is lost each year due to technology that should have been retired. Old computers and other electronic devices are slower and often unable to be upgraded to the latest version. 

Storage of End-Of-Life Electronics to Gain the Highest Recovery Value (Make Money from End-Of-Life Electronics)

Once a computer or server “dies,” it’s easy to dismiss and throw it in a trash bin for collection. Taking care of how you store these items may greatly increase the value you receive. However, you can make money from end-of-life electronics. 

Here’s How to Make Money from End-of-Life Electronics

• Store it safely without damage in dry, cool environments
• Laptops should be placed on their sides if put in boxes. Be careful not to stack too many on top of each other on a pallet, which can damage the screens of bottom units. This is especially common in MacBooks.  
• Don’t write or add labels to items that are still in the original boxes & packaging 

Data & Parts Removal

• Hard drive data erasure can increase the value of retired equipment by 5-10%. Shredding or degaussing is costly and returns no additional revenue.
• Keep the covers or panels with the unit (laptop).  Serial-numbered plastic pieces may not be recycled properly. A complete unit will return a higher value than if this part is missing or damaged.  
• WiFi Cards, Optical Drives, and Memory (RAM) contain NO DATA. Mistakenly removing these parts can significantly limit an item’s resale value. Review the below examples to ensure only the hard drive is removed, or let Securis handle it for you.

Laptop Hard Drives and WiFi Cards

Hard Drives usually have a size capacity such as 256GB, 500GB, 1TB printed on the label.

IT asset value recovery isn’t top of mind for most organizations. That concern only comes after obtaining peace of mind regarding keeping sensitive data safe. 4,145 publicly disclosed breaches exposed over 22 billion records in 2021.

If you’re not sure what value your retired IT equipment holds, we’ll help you. Schedule an onsite visit with us with no obligation. We’ll come to you, evaluate your end-of-life equipment and let you know what we predict you’ll regain from your retired assets. 

Have you tried to reduce costs when it’s time to get rid of old IT equipment? Morgan Stanley learned the hard way that if you don’t properly dispose of electronic devices,  it will be costly for your company. 

The global financial services firm Morgan Stanley trusted a standard moving company to dispose of end-of-life IT equipment. It has been reported that this company had no experience in IT asset disposition (ITAD). The unnamed moving company sold hard drives and other equipment online, exposing Morgan Stanley’s client’s data. 

Most of us assume that when purchasing a second-hand hard drive, it’s been fully wiped of all previous data. However, if this equipment gets to the wrong people, it can be detrimental to your organization. By selling these non-degaussed or shredded hard drives, Morgan Stanley left their clients vulnerable to data leaks. 

Morgan Stanley failed to destroy their customer data correctly, and that oversight has cost them millions of dollars. 

How does a hard drive that’s been wiped still have data? 

Morgan Stanley was exposed by an IT consultant who purchased some of the hard drives. He wrote to Morgan Stanley stating they could get “some kind of verification of data destruction.” As a financial institution, Morgan Stanley has stringent guidelines that they need to follow regarding data destruction. 

Although the information isn’t easily accessible on wiped drives, someone with experience can recover critical data. 

Finding “Hidden” Information

A Comparitech study found that 3 in 5 second-hand hard drives still contained data from the previous owner. 26% of the hard drives had been formatted, but it didn’t take much effort for the data to be recovered. 

An organization that does not use professional data destruction services may miss out on opportunities to fully destroy sensitive data. By degaussing and hard drive shredding, you can ensure that all data is physically destroyed. 

Preventing Data Leaks

When it comes time for your company to get rid of old hard drives, computers, and various IT equipment, you need to find an agency that complies with all laws and regulations that your business needs to follow regarding personal data. 

Physical destruction is often vital regarding compliance in terms of financial, health, and other strictly regulated organizations. 

Securis complies with the following rules and regulations:

• NIST 800-88 standards
• DoD 5200.22-M data sanitization
• HIPAA/HITECH
• Sarbanes-Oxley Act
• Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
• FACTA Disposal Rule
• Bank Secrecy Act
• Patriot Act of 2002
• Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act
• US Safe Harbor Provisions
• FDA Security Regulations
• PCI Data Security Standard 
• Various local, state, and federal regulations.

Failure to comply with regulations can lead to an embarrassing news story and cost your organization millions in settlement fees alone. Contact us to learn how we can help you stay compliant. 

At Securis, we process, disassemble, and recycle as much e-waste as we can in-house. Recycling your computer with us ensures that nothing ends up in a landfill. Some recycled computer materials are processed by our downstream vendors. Each has been vetted and chosen for their certified expertise in handling specific hazardous materials. As a zero-landfill company, our e-waste recycling partners must be R2-certified. 

End-of-Life Computer Materials That Can Be Reused

Most of the materials we send out can be reused or repurposed. There are obvious valuable materials like gold, copper, and silver that can be reused in new computer parts and turned into jewelry. The less obvious materials, like old CRT glass, can be reused as ceramic tiles and tile glaze. 

CRT Glass

CRT glass does contain lead, making the glass highly fusible. Because it is so fusible, it reduces the energy needed to create new products like ceramic tiles and tile glaze.

 

Copper

8.7 tonnes of copper is recycled from end-of-life electronic products every year. It’s one material that can be reused repeatedly without losing its ability to perform. Additionally, reusing copper lessens CO2 admissions. Copper can be recycled into jewelry, wires, or even used for the same material it was used for previously. 

Shredded Software and Toner Cartridges

One of our vendors, Covanta, uses materials like shredded software and toner cartridges to provide power to more than one million homes. This helps keep methane out of landfills which reduces emissions from fossil fuel electrical production. Your recycled toner cartridges might be powering your house!

Sulfuric Acid

Sulfuric acid found in batteries can be turned into water by adding baking soda. Once it has been cleaned and meets clean water standards, it’s released into the sewer system. It can also be turned into sodium sulfate used in laundry detergent, glass, and textiles. 

Mercury

Mercury is often found in tubes in TVs and computer monitors. Ninety-nine percent of mercury can be recycled. Once extracted from items like mercury tubes, it can be reused in new products. This not only helps limit the amount of mercury in our environment but reduces the need for new mercury to be mined and used. 

The other one percent must be disposed of properly to protect our ecosystem. The EPA has established RCRA Subtitle C landfills. This is the best way to keep mercury out of our water systems. These landfills have been specifically created to ensure that substances like mercury aren’t entering our environment. 

Securis Can Help!

At Securis, we ensure our downstream vendors are R-2 certified and keep all materials out of landfills. We want to ensure that our environment is free of harmful elements. Contact us if you are interested in learning more about how we can help you! 

• In one month, we sell about 6,000 desktops If stacked on top of one another, they’d reach the top of the Empire State Building. In one quarter, we sell the equivalent of two Washington Monuments in height of laptops! That’s about 13,320 laptops.
• Last year, we sold enough monitors to stretch three miles!
• In one week, our processing team went through and disassembled 174,000 pounds of equipment. That is the maximum weight of a full Boeing 747!
• Recently, we recycled 80,000 pounds of plastic. Keeping materials out of landfills is our priority! This happens to be the equivalent of a fully loaded 18-wheeler!

Some businesses, governments, and other entities have a chain of custody requirement regarding data destruction. Securis has developed a meticulous and secure end-to-end process that brings technology, people, processes, and infrastructure together. This ensures the highest levels of quality throughout the entire chain of custody of end-of-life IT assets.

Our clients are always in the loop for each retired IT asset during certified data destruction and e-waste logistics. 

Securis’ on-site shredding services allow you to witness the physical destruction of hard drives, cell phones, solid state drives (SSDs), and more. We know that the physical destruction of electronics is vital, so we provide a variety of ways to perform those services. 

Types of Data Destruction

At Securis, we offer several on-site hard drive and data destruction services to best suit your needs. We’ll help you avoid an embarrassing news story due to a data breach. 

With our microshredder, your devices will be pulverized to a shred size of less than 2mm,  the NSA-prescribed particle size. This is one of the most effective ways to ensure complete data security for small items, such as SSD cards, chips, and other data-containing devices that would fall through the cracks of traditional shredders.

If you aren’t concerned with shred size and are looking to destroy larger items, such as standard disk drives, our traditional shredder will do the job well. 

Prior to shredding, or in lieu of it, you can opt for degaussing. This erases data from devices with a magnetic strip by scrambling information,  rendering it unreadable. Aside from the hard drives in most of the devices used today, it also works on VHS tapes, cassettes, LTO and DLT tapes, and other magnetic storage devices. Degaussing does not work on solid state drives or optical storage devices like CDs. 

Protecting the Chain of Custody

Our on-site destruction services assist in protecting any chain of custody issues you may face. We understand that often, you may need to witness the destruction of your SSDs and other storage devices. 

Securis has a mobile shredding truck. We will come to your office and let you watch as we shred your equipment. We can also provide you and your company with a certificate of destruction and an audit-ready IT inventory list to document that all equipment has been disposed of properly.

Data that Securis Can Destroy

At Securis, we can destroy the data on a vast amount of end-of-life equipment. We accept hard drives, SSDs, floppy discs, CDs, tapes, and more to shred. Depending on size, we may opt to use our proprietary microshredder.

Anything that can store data needs to be properly disposed of. When we destroy SSDs, hard drives, and other devices on-site, we can help keep your data secure and save you time. 

The environment doesn’t usually come first in a data center operator’s priorities. While Securis recognizes the importance of data security, we’re ready to change the perspective regarding the impact of equipment on the environment. Our company strives to improve the global environment and secure our client’s data through the data center liquidation process.  

The environmental impact of data centers is larger than you may be aware of. Finding a company that can help reduce the environmental impact of end-of-life equipment is important. This will help reduce the amount of energy used and the amount of water needed to keep data center equipment cool.  

Keeping E-Waste Out of Landfills

There are an estimated three million data centers in the United States. They range in size from a single 19-inch rack to 1.1 million square feet. The average size of a data center is 100,000 square feet. That’s a lot of equipment that eventually needs to be disposed of. 

We must ensure this end-of-life equipment doesn’t end up in a landfill.

Like all electronic devices, data centers become outdated and eventually fail. Most data centers are large, making the amount of e-waste they produce more impactful. By finding an IT asset disposition (ITAD) service, you can easily utilize their e-waste recycling efforts. 

47 percent of data centers are refreshed every one to three years. If the retired IT assets aren’t properly recycled, many landfills receive perfectly usable or reusable equipment. If data center operators don’t make changes, it is estimated that e-waste will grow by 8% each year globally. 

Many large tech corporations have joined the Circular Electronics Partnership. In this partnership, companies like Microsoft, Dell, Google, and Amazon, are committed to helping the circular economy and reducing e-waste. Tech tycoons can reduce their e-waste by disposing of their data center equipment with a company that securely recycles and upcycles IT assets. 

IT asset recovery is an impactful way to keep the circular economy going. We hear “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” from elementary school to adulthood. The circular economy focuses on reusing items that have already been introduced into the product lifecycle. 

Keeping End-of-Life Data Center Assets Secure 

As data center equipment is replaced, companies need to continue to keep the information they once held secure. 

It’s vital to ensure total data erasure in your organization’s ITAD process. In recent years with an increase in data breaches and hacks, data security is vital. 

How Securis Can Help Securely Decommission Data Centers

Securis’  data center decommissioning process ensures that your e-waste will not end up in a landfill. We recycle, reuse, and refurbish every piece of e-waste that we collect.

Located in the center of Data Center Alley, we are able to collect and destroy retired IT assets on-site. If you’re curious about our process, we’d be pleased to show you around our facilities and explain our processes further.

Securis has more than 20 years of experience keeping servers, wires, and other end-of-life equipment out of landfills while ensuring complete data security. Contact us today to help you keep your data center end-of-life equipment out of landfills. 

In this day and age, it’s vital to keep your client’s personal information and data secure. Healthcare providers and adjacent companies are under strict regulations from medical channels to keep information safe. Additionally, patients are more worried than ever about their health data falling into the wrong hands. It’s important to find a company that follows HIPAA-compliant data destruction methods, like Securis. 

When it comes to data destruction in healthcare, each company has a lot of policies they must be in compliance with. This includes the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH), Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, FACTA Disposal Rule, PCI Data Security Standard, and the Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act. 

According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, there were 563 suspected data breaches in the healthcare industry in 2021. Healthcare companies need to find data destruction services to prevent data breaches that may occur with end-of-life equipment. Even though a phone or computer may no longer turn on, it can still hold valuable information.

Healthcare companies collect electronic protected health information (PHI), which is critical to care for patients. However, in terms of end-of-life equipment, it can pose some challenges. It is essential to dispose of electronics properly when you work in healthcare to protect patients’ personal information.

 

Degaussing is the HIPAA-compliant data destruction method. After removing a hard drive from its source, it goes through the degausser. This machine changes the magnetic strip, rendering any stored information unreadable. 

Shredding hard drives and solid state drives can provide more security to your data. By completely pulverizing any hard drives and cell phones, shredding provides total physical and virtual destruction. 

The last thing you need is a data breach or a HIPAA violation that will hurt your business and customers.

What is PHI, and Where is it Stored?

Healthcare data contains one of the most sensitive types of information, which is why it’s important to protect it. PHI is Personal Healthcare Information which includes personal demographic information like social security numbers and private medical information. It is data that is meant to be kept between provider and patient. 

This information can be found on devices such as pacemakers, x-ray machines, servers, CT machines, computers, defibrillators, and MRI machines.

The use of digital charts by medical facilities has eased communication but has increased the risk of data breaches. Companies should have similar safeguards in place for protecting end-of-life technology as they do for on-site technology. 

Conforming with Federal Regulations

HIPAA

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was created to protect sensitive patient health information. When you need to dispose of end-of-life equipment, find a company that follows their data destruction regulations.

HITECH

The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) was enacted to improve quality, safety, and efficiency in healthcare. HITECH includes ensuring the privacy and security of patients. As you dispose of old technology, you need to ensure that you completely destroy any and all sensitive data. This increased penalties when there are HIPAA violations, and added incentives for organizations that better comply with HIPAA. 

SARBANES-OXLEY

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act created the need for companies to know the flow of their transactions, including IT asset disposition. Finding a company that offers on-site destruction and/or certificates of destruction can help you ensure that you remain compliant. 

GRAMM-LEACH-BLILEY ACT

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act collects data and personal information. This act requires financial institutions to disclose any information-sharing practices they have with their customers. Additionally, it ensures that your company is taking the proper steps to safeguard data.  

FACTA DISPOSAL RULE

The FACTA Disposal Rule requires businesses to take appropriate steps to destroy sensitive data collected from consumer reports. While the method of destruction is flexible with FACTA, you should ensure that all data and information is completely destroyed.

PCI DATA SECURITY STANDARD

The PCI Data Security Standard was created to ensure the safety of collected credit card information. Computers, iPads, and other electronic devices collect and save credit card information. Regardless of how this information is collected, your technology can save this data even if it breaks. Be sure to utilize a service that can guarantee that end-of-life equipment is clean of all stored information.

IDENTITY THEFT AND ASSUMPTION DETERRENCE ACT

The Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act requires any commercial, charitable, educational, or nonprofit organization to protect collected personal information. Part of this requirement is physical safeguards. A service that collects e-waste, inventories it, and then destroys is vital for compliance.

Risks of Not Properly Disposing of E-Waste

A typical PC with several circuit boards can hold up to eight pounds of lead and other measurable amounts of toxic metals. When these items aren’t properly disposed of,  toxic chemicals end up in the environment. This affects what we breathe, drink, and process. Not recycling electronics properly means that they can lead to very dangerous illnesses like cancer, lung damage, and seizures. 

At Securis, we have protocols to keep toxic metals and chemicals out of our air. They guarantee that all e-waste is properly disposed of. Our services include physical destruction, as well as data erasure as needed. 

The future of the global environment is up to us, and Securis can help your company reduce its carbon footprint. We are committed to recycling 100% of everything we receive. Securis does not export electronics to places like China, India, and Africa in order to remain compliant with the Basel Action Network and our R2 certification. 

Securis will also help you get rid of newer, but not quite up-to-par electronics. We understand how important it is for your business to stay up to date on the latest tech trends, which is why we have our refurbishment program in place. 

If you have a computer that’s only five years old, but you recently upgraded it, we can still help you properly dispose of it. You may even qualify to earn money from these types of electronics. If you think your retired equipment has value, please contact us for a complimentary consultation. 

Computers that are in working order may be re-sold after proper data wiping to help continue a commitment to a green product life cycle. At the end of the day, our goal is to reduce any waste possible, and refurbishment is a great way to do that. 

Prior to upcycling any equipment, all hard drives, solid state drives, and other data-containing devices are extracted and pulverized, guaranteeing complete data security. Our mission is to keep your data secure and the planet as clean as possible

At Securis, we’re ready to help with electronic recycling needs from the start of the product lifecycle until the end. We’re excited to help you get rid of any electronic waste you may have. Our hard drive shredding services, refurbishment program, and commitment to keeping all materials out of landfills.

 

Solid State Drives (SSDs) hold massive amounts of data and can be an alternative to the traditional hard disk drive. SSDs store data on memory chips rather than storing information on spinning platters. While they are more efficient for companies since they have no moving parts, are smaller, last longer, and consume less energy, they pose some risks when it comes to destroying the data on solid state drives.

You may be wondering, “Can I degauss an SSD?” Based on our experience, we’ve learned how to best destroy SSDs. One of our standards in a traditional data destruction process is degaussing, which does not work on SSDs. Degaussing is the best practice for traditional hard drives since it can reduce and eliminate information with magnets. A degaussed HD looks the same as one that hasn’t been degaussed, so we recommend shredding them too.

Shred Size is Key to Proper Destruction 

Most standard industrial shredders shred to 1-inch particles, which is still too large when it comes to the proper destruction of SSDs. SSD chips are typically 2.5 inches to 3.5 inches in size and can slip through the hammers of your standard hard drive shredder. The memory chips need to be broken into a particle size of less than ½ inch. 

At Securis, we have a proprietarily engineered master microshredder that can turn your SSDs into 2mm e-crumbs, as recommended by the NSA. This is significantly smaller than the minimum size of ½ inch. Our microshredder pulverizes SSDs, flash drives, and other small devices like cell phone SIM cards to best keep your information secure. The shred width is less than that of a spaghetti noodle. 

SSDs often hold very sensitive data such as corporate financial information, medical records, and state secrets. 2mm is the necessary size for the physical destruction of these devices to prevent any data recovery. This size was determined after analysts at the NSA examined the shreds to make sure they were inaccessible. 

Oftentimes, our clients need a certificate of destruction to prove that these pieces were properly destroyed, and we provide that for them. In fact, the turn-around time that clients receive Securis’ inventory reports and certificate of destruction is a large part of what sets us above the competition. 

Our microshredder has the ability to come to you on-site. This helps prevent any chain of custody issues that your company may face when it comes to data or media destruction. We have the ability to shred thousands of pounds of metals and plastics per hour. If you need to see your electronic equipment physically destroyed, this is a great solution for you!

The ability the microshredder has to render any data unusable is key for data destruction in many companies and government agencies. These can often easily be removed from a laptop or computer          If that’s the case and the rest of the equipment is not salvageable, we ensure total recycling of those products. Securis is dedicated to recycling and is committed to never sending anything to landfills. 

Securis understands how important it is to properly destroy sensitive data, and this is one of our top priorities. At Securis, we provide you with an auditable, trackable, link to inventory lists or similar and indisputable inventory record of each SSD that is destroyed. This includes a data destruction certificate that proves your data was properly destroyed.

As technology continues to evolve, our destruction and security methods need to keep up. This is why we are passionate about giving our customers peace of mind when it comes to their data security with proper solid state drive destruction.
