COLAMCO ASSIST

Data destruction you can put in an audit file

Destroying proprietary client data is mission-critical. COLAMCO destroys tens of thousands of hard drives every year inside its own secure facilities: under video surveillance, in a locked cage, with independent administrative supervision.

How data is destroyed

Three methods, matched to the standard you have to meet

Destruction takes many forms, from DOD-standard erasure through degaussing to physical shredding. Which one applies depends on the drive’s next destination.

Degaussing

Accepted as the highest form of secure data destruction under NIST Special Publication 800-88. COLAMCO operates the latest NSA-tested and verified equipment. Where degaussing is used, the final step is also physical destruction.

DOD-standard erasure

If you contract COLAMCO to process your own hard drives for reuse within the same organization, DOD standard 5220.22-M is employed. Drives that are not successfully wiped are physically destroyed.

Physical destruction

Shredding for drives that leave your control for good, and as the closing step behind every degauss. Tens of thousands of hard drives are destroyed entirely under COLAMCO’s control each year.

Trained, certified, and supervised

The COLAMCO team is trained, certified, and operates to the highest data security standards. All data destruction is conducted under video surveillance and in a locked cage with independent administrative supervision.

Serial-level proof, on paper

Upon completion of a successful degauss and destruction, or of a wipe, the serial number of the drive is reported with the Certificate of Destruction, so your record shows exactly which asset was destroyed, and how.
