Hard Drive & Media Destruction
When it comes to safeguarding sensitive data, erasing is not enough. The only way to permanently eliminate the risk of data recovery is through physical destruction.
At M1 Document Solutions, we provide fully secure, on-site hard drive and media destruction services designed to meet the highest standards of compliance and data protection. Whether you’re disposing of outdated IT equipment or upgrading systems, we ensure your digital data never falls into the wrong hands.

Hard drives (HDD/SSD)
-
Backup data tapes

CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays

Why Physical Destruction?
Even after formatting or wiping, data from hard drives can often be recovered using forensic tools. Physical shredding is the only method that guarantees 100% destruction of data—making it GDPR-compliant and NAID-approved.
