Wisetek is entrusted by the US Government to securely destroy sensitive data on highly classified IT assets located in nuclear power research facilities. These facilities are numerous and are located throughout the United States and contain IT assets and supercomputers holding highly sensitive data. Wisetek was requisitioned to perform on-site data destruction to the highest standards, thus ensuring thorough and complete data destruction. We operate as full-service ITAD company right across the United States, providing clients with globally recognized data destruction certificates.

Nationwide NSA-Grade Hard Drive Degausser Services
Hard drive degaussing has many benefits over other methods for destruction of data. For one thing, it is less costly than methods which involve the full physical destruction of the hard drive. Our degaussing machines are NSA approved, and capable of destroying the data on your magnetic media components, regardless of the operating system or any software-based security.
Onsite Hard Drive Shredder Platforms
Our mobile shredding vehicles can be sent directly to your location anywhere in the continental US to handle hard drive shredding onsite. You can also request an HD video copy of the destruction with our DATA DEAD system if the process takes place at a Wisetek facility. Our hard drive shredders can tear any storage medium down to 10mm, with 2mm available on special request. Our services include :
Magnetic media destruction
Hard drive degaussing
Two-stage degaussing, bending, shredding services
Solid state destruction to 6mm or 2mm
Solid State Media? No Problem
Wisetek offers nationwide solid-state disintegration using NSA approved disintegrators. Solid-state drives offer many benefits over traditional storage media, but they present new problems when it comes to the destruction of data. As one of the leading ITAD companies in the world, we make sure your data shredding needs are met regardless of the media that data is stored on.
Fully Certified Destruction of Data
Certification is critical to any strategy for destroying data, both as a basis for trust and as a means to ensure no mistakes are made. Wisetek treats their certifications as badges of honour, as well as proof of our credentials. It also ensures both our logistics network and facilities are held to the highest standards possible when handling your equipment and sensitive data.

Secure Data Destruction Service
We appreciate the need for full transparency when dealing with sensitive data destruction. Some things are too important to leave to chance. When Wisetek undertakes a job—such as data center decommissioning—the full process can be witnessed, either via video recording or in person. For onsite work, our trucks are fitted with a permanent GPS device.

The Importance of Data Destruction
Prevention is Better than Reaction
More of our data is stored remotely than at any point in our history. Confidential records, sensitive personal information—all data that malicious third parties would love to get their hands on. Data breaches are not just costly in the financial sense; they can cause irreparable damage to your reputation and prevent customers from trusting your business. With the secure destruction of data, there is no data to breach!
Regulatory Compliance is Mandatory
Knowing how to dispose of hard drives is only half of the battle. Many states have their own data disposal regulations (as do several regions outside of the US). It is a legal requirement for a business to meet specific regulatory standards if they want to store particular types of data, such as payment details and medical information. For a typical business, keeping up with the latest relevant certifications can be time-consuming, but rest assured that at Wisetek this is our first priority.
