Data Destruction and Sanitization
100% Data Destruction and Sanitization Services.
We know that today, protecting your confidential information is one of your highest priorities; and we make it safe, secure and simple.
Data sanitization is the process of permanently and irreversibly removing or destroying the data stored on hard drives or other media storage devices. A device that has been sanitized or destroyed has no usable residual data, and even the most advanced forensic tools will not be able to recover the erased data.
Our media destruction process includes data sanitization which follows the U.S.
Department of Defense Standard DoD 5220.22‐MM. This standard requires a multi‐pass
erasure (3 passes) of the entire disk to randomize all sectors.

Data Destruction
We also completely and physically destroy disks, tapes, flash memory devices, RAM, ROM, integrated circuits, DVDs, CDs, smartphones, tablets, and computer equipment to eliminate the risk of attempts to re‐use or recover data from computers, related devices, and media. We will issue a Certificate of Destruction of all destroyed assets.
Excess Logic recycles all destroyed media and only works with certified downstream partners. We require our recycling partners to be accredited under one of the two accredited certification standards: R2 ‐ The Responsible Recycling Standard for Electronics Recyclers and the E‐Stewards Standard for Responsible Recycling and Reuse of Electronic Equipment Exit Standard for Recyclers.
