WHY IT MATTERS
If any of these apply, your data may still be recoverable
Format and factory reset are recoverable
Formatting or factory reset does not remove the data itself. Recovery tools can restore much of it.
No traceability after handover
Once assets are handed to a processor, there is no way to verify where they went or how they were handled.
No documentation for audits
Evidence required for security audits and due diligence cannot be produced after the fact. It must be captured at the moment of processing.
STANDARDS
Reference Standards
All erasure and destruction is performed under the following standards and guidelines.
| Standard / Guideline | Scope |
|---|---|
| NIST SP 800-88 Rev.1 | NIST Guidelines for Media Sanitization — 3-tier framework: Clear, Purge, Destroy |
| DoD 5220.22-M | U.S. Department of Defense data erasure standard — multi-pass overwrite (7-Pass) specification |
| NIS Storage Media Disposal Guideline | Korean National Intelligence Service standard for classified storage media destruction in public institutions |
| DoD 5220.22-M | Legal disposal procedure and evidentiary requirements for public records |
TWO METHODS
Processing Options / select or combine
Option A
Logical Erasure (Blancco)
- Software-based complete erasure
- Supports SSD and RAID environments
- Automatic erasure report generation
Assets can be reused, enabling value recovery in parallel
Option B
Physical Destruction
- Micro-shredding to 3mm or smaller
- Video and photo documentation of destruction
- Certificate of Destruction issued
Applied to the highest security-tier assets, combinable with erasure

Segregated Secure Zone
Data processing areas are physically isolated with restricted entry.
24/7 CCTV
The entire process is continuously recorded and retained.
Secure Transport
Dedicated vehicles and sealed procedures eliminate in-transit risk.
Chain-of-Custody Ledger
Every asset movement in and out is captured in a chain-of-custody ledger.
Chain of Custody
Custody history is continuous from pickup to processing at the asset level.
Access Control
Only authorized personnel may enter the processing area.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. SSDs have a different storage architecture than HDDs, so standard delete tools cannot fully erase them, but Blancco-based logical erasure supports standard erasure procedures that leverage SSD controller commands. Each erasure is 100% verified in the verification stage.
-
If you want to recover value by reusing the asset, choose logical erasure. If you need the highest security tier, choose physical destruction. The two can also be combined; we will advise the right option during consultation based on asset condition and security requirements.
-
Certificates are issued after processing is complete and results are verified. They are delivered together with the per-asset processing log.
-
On-site processing at the client premises can be arranged based on security requirements. Please request this when submitting your inquiry.
-
Assets that fail erasure at the verification stage are transferred to physical destruction, and the history is recorded in the processing log.
