Data Destruction Guide

Data-bearing equipment

Common data-bearing assets include laptops, desktops, servers, hard drives, SSDs, phones, tablets, USB drives, memory cards, tapes, and storage arrays.

Handling questions to ask

Ask whether assets should be inventoried, wiped, destroyed, tagged, separated by department, or documented for compliance records before pickup or drop-off is confirmed.

Customer responsibility

Customers should identify sensitive equipment before service and avoid sending passwords, private records, or unnecessary confidential information through the website form.
