End-to-end · one point of accountability

Data Destruction Service in India

Collection, secure transit, sanitisation, physical destruction, reconciliation and authorised e-waste disposal — managed end to end, with a signed destruction register as the deliverable. Across India.

The deliverable is a register, not a bin. Every engagement ends with a document: one row per asset, with the machine used, the per-cycle verification value, the operator and your custodian's signature. That is what an auditor asks for and what your customers ask for.

The chain

Seven stages, each one recorded

Collect

Media gathered from your site in closed, labelled containers against a signed manifest. Nothing is handled in a public area.

Secure transit

Sealed containers, controlled vehicle, chained custody documented at each handover.

Sanitise

Proton degausser for magnetic media, with per-cycle field verification. Flash and optical media routed to shredding.

Destroy

Sanitised media crushed in a Proton PDS crusher. Nothing leaves as intact, drive-shaped scrap.

Reconcile

Assets in, assets destroyed, exceptions and discrepancies stated with reasons and signed off by both parties.

Dispose

Scrap handed to an authorised e-waste recycler under the E-Waste (Management) Rules, with documentation retained.

Certify

Signed destruction register, volume reconciliation, machine verification certificate and a certificate of destruction issued to you.

What we will not do

Trust in this industry is mostly a question of what a provider will not do. So, plainly:

  • We do not resell hardware. We have no resale channel. Sanitised media is crushed; the scrap goes to a recycler.
  • We do not batch-register. One row per asset, every time.
  • We do not use unverified equipment. Our machines are maintained under AMC with periodic field-strength verification, and the certificate for the machine used on your job is part of the deliverable.
  • We do not skip the degauss for convenience. Crushing without sanitising is faster and leaves the evidential basis open. It is not what we do.
  • We do not take custody of media with a legal hold or a return obligation without written instruction.

How engagements are priced

Pricing is per media type with a minimum batch charge, plus travel where applicable. Flash and mobile devices are priced separately because they consume shredder capacity at a different rate. A witnessed run for a bank or government client, and a run executed to a client-specific register format, are quoted as options. What we do not do is quote a flat per-drive price and then discover the media was not all the same type.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions Indian buyers ask most often. Cannot find yours? Call us — we answer technical questions on the phone.

What is the difference between this and the degaussing service?
The degaussing service is the sanitisation and destruction run. This is the full outsourced chain — collection from your site, secure transit, sanitisation, destruction, reconciliation and authorised e-waste disposal — managed as a single engagement with one point of accountability.
Do you collect media from our site?
Yes. Collection, secure transit in closed containers, and delivery to the destruction point are part of the engagement. In metro areas this is usually same-day; outstation runs are scheduled.
Can you work to our register format?
Yes, and you should ask us to. Send your template or field list and we will work to it. If you do not have one, we will supply ours.
How do you handle media with a legal hold or lease restriction?
We exclude it from the run and record the exclusion in the reconciliation, with a reason. We ask for that instruction in writing before the run.
What proof do we receive?
A destruction register (one row per asset with per-cycle verification), a volume reconciliation with exceptions, the machine verification certificate, the recycler documentation, and a signed certificate of destruction.
Do you sign non-disclosure agreements?
Yes. NDAs and mutual non-disclosure agreements are routine for bank, financial and government engagements, and we will execute your form.
