Certified Data Destruction and Secure Equipment Disposition


Secure Solutions that yield Maximum Returns

Whether managing the redeployment, end-of-lease, resale, or disposal of IT equipment, Certified Data Destruction is an essential measure in meeting regulatory compliance, mitigating liability, and protecting proprietary and intellectual property. In addition, the secure and effective re-marketing of retired equipment and components is a major factor in reducing total cost of ownership.

Each step of the N-1 equipment transition process is carefully managed and fully documented. You can track the progress of every component, from initial inventory to final disposition, with our web-based reporting tool. To ensure complete transparency and regulatory compliance N-1 provides comprehensive fair-market-value accounting, certificates of data destruction and data disposal, purchase orders, and detailed audit reports.

Certified Data Erasure and Disposal

Certified Data Erasure is necessary to ensure the redeployment, end-of-lease, resale or disposal of IT equipment is conducted in compliance with security and regulatory requirements. The N-1 proprietary data erasure process can be executed on or off-site and exceeds Department of Defense standards (1x, 3x, 5x, or 7x overwrite). Each piece of hardware is individually processed, audited, and tested and upon successful confirmation a Certificate of Data Destruction, necessary for compliance reporting, is issued.

Where highly-sensitive or end-of-life equipment is concerned N-1 utilizes extremely thorough destruction processes. These processes may include the degaussing and/or shredding of disks and components. Following complete destruction of materials a Certificate of Data Disposal is issued for compliance reporting purposes. N-1 disposes of all waste materials in an environmentally responsible manner in accordance with EPA guidelines.

All N-1 processes and reporting are fully compliant with the U.S. Patriot Act, Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), and GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act).
