Hard drive shredding
Secure Data Destruction & Hard Drive Shredding
When wiping isn't enough — failed drives, encrypted devices you can't unlock, or zero-tolerance environments — we destroy the media to a particle size that makes recovery a physical impossibility.
When destruction beats erasure
Erasure is the right answer for most business IT — it's faster, cheaper, and lets the device get a second life. But some drives need to be destroyed: failed media that won't accept a wipe, encrypted drives where the keys are gone, tapes that have outlived their archive policy, or anything covered by a strict information security policy.
MakeITgood's destruction service shreds HDDs to under 20mm and SSDs to under 6mm — well below the threshold any forensic process can recover from.
Witnessed destruction
For high-sensitivity environments — legal, financial, healthcare, public sector — we offer on-site witnessed shredding so the drive never leaves your line of sight intact. We bring the shredder to you, run the job, hand you the certificate, and take the resulting fragments to a permitted recycler.
