How you know we did what we said we did

Each certificate explained in terms of what it gives you, rather than listed as a logo. Every number on this page can be checked against the public register.

How we protect you

The specific things that make this secure, not just a claim that it is

Your data

  • Every drive erased to current NCSC guidance
  • Erasure software is ADISA certified
  • A drive that fails erasure is physically destroyed, never passed on
  • You remain data controller until collection; liability sits with us from that point on

Your kit and your paperwork

  • Our own staff and vehicles only — collection and transport are never subcontracted
  • Minimum two enhanced-DBS-vetted staff on every collection
  • Unloaded into our own alarmed, CCTV-monitored facility, no public access
  • Waste Transfer Note on the day; Certificate of Data Destruction within 28 working days

Certificates and insurance

All three ISO standards are certified through Citation. We send the certificates themselves on request rather than paraphrasing their scope.

Cover is held for professional indemnity, goods in transit, public liability and cyber. Limits and schedules on request, because the figure that matters is the one on the actual schedule.

Chain of custody

Who handles your equipment

Our own staff, in our own tracked vehicles, a minimum of two on every collection. All operational staff are security vetted with enhanced DBS as standard, and further checks can be arranged where your site requires them.

Collection and transport are never subcontracted. Equipment is unloaded into our own alarmed, CCTV monitored facility with no public access.

Where a third party is involved we say so. A drive that fails erasure, or hardware needing specialist repair, is occasionally sent to an external facility. Ask and you will get a straight answer about which facility and what they hold.

The paperwork you get

Everything an auditor will ask for, without you having to chase us for it.
