Data protection
Secure data destruction for business IT
Plan the treatment of retired business devices and storage media with SIT Recycling in Coventry. Agree the method, collection arrangements and evidence your organisation needs before work begins.
Data protection
Choose the data treatment your equipment needs
Data erasure and physical destruction serve different purposes. The appropriate route depends on the media, its condition, your policy and whether reuse is suitable. Set the scope in advance so treatment results and any failures can be reconciled with the assets received.
Book collectionService capability
Controls designed around the project—not added at the end.
Risk-aligned method
Agree the route according to media, condition, policy and client requirement.
Device-level outcome
Record the method, result, date and exception state for each scoped asset.
Controlled access
Keep data-bearing equipment inside a restricted handling workflow.
Certificate evidence
Provide project and asset evidence without exposing private records publicly.
Evidence delivered
A customer-ready record of what happened to the estate.
The final evidence depends on the contracted scope, but the operating model is built to connect asset identity, data treatment, final route and project exceptions.
Should we choose data erasure or physical destruction?+
Erasure may support reuse when a suitable method can be completed and verified. Physical destruction may be appropriate for failed, damaged or policy-restricted media. Tell us your requirements so the route can be assessed before the job is agreed.
What evidence should we request?+
Agree whether you need asset or media identifiers, the treatment method, result, date, exceptions and a project certificate. The completion evidence depends on the contracted scope; specify any audit requirements in your enquiry.
What should we prepare before collection?+
List the devices and media, identify your authorised handover contact and explain any access restrictions. Complete your organisation’s required backups and retention checks. Do not send passwords or confidential files through the enquiry form.
How are collection costs agreed?+
Send the equipment list, postcode, access details and required data treatment with your enquiry. The team reviews the scope, any charges and collection arrangements before confirming the job. Submitting a request does not confirm a collection.
Plan the next step
Turn redundant technology into a secure, documented outcome.
Share the estate, locations, timing and evidence requirements so the project can be assessed properly.
