Retired hardware can still leak data. We make sure it doesn't
A device in storage or handed to a recycler still holds its data until it's properly sanitised. BlueMonk wipes or destroys every retired asset to standard, with certificates as evidence.
What this means for your organisation
Data risk doesn't end when a device is retired, it ends when the data on it is actually destroyed, and that destruction is proven. Data destruction and sanitisation follow a certified, documented process: secure erasure or physical destruction depending on the asset's disposition path, with an erasure certificate or certificate of destruction closing out every device, matched to the method used.
What’s included
Secure Data Erasure
Certified software-based data erasure for drives being refurbished, remarketed, or reused, wiping data to a verifiable standard rather than a simple delete.
HDD / SSD Sanitisation
Sanitisation methods are matched to drive type, because HDDs and SSDs require different approaches to be effective.
Media Shredding
Physical shredding of storage media that can't or shouldn't be sanitised for reuse, reducing drives to particle sizes that make data recovery infeasible.
Physical Destruction
Complete physical destruction of devices and media where destruction, not erasure, is the appropriate disposition path.
Erasure Certificate
Formal documentation issued for every wiped asset, recording the erasure standard applied and giving you a defensible record for compliance and audit purposes.
Certificate of Destruction
Formal documentation issued for every physically destroyed asset, giving you a defensible record for compliance and audit purposes.
Delivered through the BlueMonk technology ecosystem
Delivered by group delivery entities rather than through manufacturer supply.
- Dev ITGroup delivery entity for implementation, managed services and support operations.
- DeshwalGroup delivery entity for asset recovery, recycling and end-of-life processing.
Four steps, agreed before anything starts
- 01
Assess the asset
Drive or media type identified to determine the right destruction method.
- 02
Erase, sanitise, or destroy
Data erasure, sanitisation, or physical destruction carried out to a certified standard.
- 03
Verify
Erasure or destruction confirmed before the device moves to its next disposition step.
- 04
Issue certification
An erasure certificate or certificate of destruction provided for every asset, matched to the method used.
