Sandpiper's Disk Eradication Services

The protection and security of your company's most vital IT asset, data, also extends to hardware platforms and infrastructure scheduled to be retired or replaced, and will ultimately be leaving your site. It is important that this data be erased in a manner that does not allow it's later recovery by unauthorized persons. 

While it is simply good business sense to clean these devices of any data when they are retired, regulatory requirements may also need to be considered that dictate the protection of this data such as HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, Payment Card Industry (PCI) and others.

Sandpiper’s Disk & Data Eradication Service provides the most cost-effective and complete eradication of data from hard disk drives.  Our technology ensures the secure, DOD compliant eradication your company requires.  We provide the detailed audit process and reporting required to meet state and local government and other industry regulatory compliance and security requirements.
