Wiping or erasing hard drives? Holland Recycling wipes your company data 100% GDPR-proof and permanently using certified Certus Software. The advantage of wiping is that the hard drive retains its usability, making it the most sustainable and financially attractive option.
"Wiping hard drives is secure and contributes to the circular economy."
Have your hard drives wiped in five simple steps. We ensure a secure, GDPR-proof and transparent process. Your data is permanently wiped using certified software, and you receive a detailed wipe report as proof.
In the first step, we collect your hard drives and data carriers from your location.
In the second step, we register all your hard drives based on serial number, brand name and capacity.
In the third step, your data is continuously secured at our site in Boxtel, with 24-hour camera surveillance and alarm security.
The fourth step is the actual wiping: your hard drives are overwritten multiple times using certified Certus Software.
In the fifth and final step, you receive a detailed, GDPR-proof wipe report per hard drive, including the serial number and wiping method used.
A sustainable approach is central to Holland Recycling. Not only the processing itself is important here, but especially the way we do it. Because the refurbishment process for IT hardware lends itself particularly well to employing people with a distance to the labour market, we have a wonderfully mixed team. As a member of CSR initiative AANtWERK, we work daily towards inclusive business practices. Want to know more about our social approach? Check out our page about sustainability and CSR.
