Our Data Wiping and E-Scrap Services are centered around the security of client data

Data Wiping

The greatest legal and economic risk facing companies today is the storage of private, confidential and proprietary information on computer hard drives. None of the standard tools, such emptying your recycle bin or formating your hard drive, remove the bulk of the data contained. In response, the US Department of Defense issued a standard (DOD 5220.22-M) that outlines a good, proven framework for the removal of data from a hard drive – sanitizing. This means the complete removal of all data, while leaving the hard drive in a reusable state.

remarketCISCO.com understands the importance of data wiping as a vital step to any equipment upgrades. We utilize comprehensive and complete data cleansing techniques that adhere to the DOD 5220.22-M standard, ensuring all data is completely eliminated. Guaranteed.

Our process is as follows:

  • Data Clearing – One-pass overwrite of hard drive
  • Data Sanitization – Three-pass overwrite of hard drive (first time with a character, second time with its complement, and the third time with a random character)
  • Data Destruction – Degaussing and sector verification to ensure drives are wiped completely

Once the cleansing process is complete, remarketCISCO.com will generate and provide you a Certificate of Destruction (COD) as proof that your critical data has been properly eliminated.

E-Scrap Services

Don’t let the worry of handling or disposing of valueless equipment stop you from upgrading your equipment with us, at a 90% savings rate compared to manufacturers. For equipment without any market value (either as a whole, or in part), remarketCISCO.com’s E-Scrap Services can provide you with an environmentally friendly, data-sensitive and well documented destruction process.

All hardware is first transported directly to remarketCISCO.com’s Rochester, NY facility for initial processing, which includes:

  • The serialization and reporting of all equipment received.
  • The sorting of marketable material from dismantle material.
  • Complete manifest of material for customer.
  • The loading and transportation of dismantle material to an off-site dismantling and shredding facility.
  • Removal of all asset tags, stickers or proprietary markings from each piece of equipment.
  • The issuance of Certificates of Destruction (CODs).

remarketCISCO.com performs regular audits on all its vendors to ensure accountability for all material.

Software License Protection

remarketCISCO.com has a very strict policy on hard drive erasures. We guarantee that any information or operating systems contained on any piece of equipment received will be fully erased. This INCLUDES the complete removal of any certificates of authenticity, using the same methods employed to remove any stickers or proprietary markings. This method guarantees that both the operating system, and the code stored on the hard drive, has been completely removed. The reuse of the operating system license has been nullified, giving your company the guarantee that it can never be reissued or reinstalled on any piece of equipment.
