Hard Drive Erasure & Destruction Service - PTS Data Center Solutions

Data Centers from Edge to Cloud

Our Focus

We design, build, and operate data centers that are great
for companies and their people... but better for the planet

PTS offers cost effective destruction solutions for failed or older hard drives. Our shredding or pinning mutilation process is the most secure destruction process in the industry. A mobile shredder will arrive at your site and scan your drives. Drives are then placed in a tamper-proof bin, and escorted into our Mobile IT Lab where the drives are shredded into minute pieces. The pinning mutilation process takes security to another level. When the client’s security policy will not allow the drive to leave their office, we can provide the pinning mutilation process right in their office. After the drives have been pinned, they are loaded into a tamper-proof box and shredded off site. Both services will ensure all the data is absolutely destroyed and can never fall into the wrong hands. Both processes are compliant with HIPPA, SOA, GLBA, DOD and PCI as well as local and government privacy laws.

Green Initiatives

Carbon Footprint: As we replace and upgrade our rolling stock, 100% of new vehicles in run on bio diesel.
Recycling: All packing materials are recycled and all cardboard and bubble wrap are reused for packing.
Power Consumption: Mobile IT Labs have a non-intrusive, self generating power supply that does not draw off the national grid and runs on bio fuel to power the onboard erasure equipment.

Strict guidelines and processes are in place to document the chain of custody of the equipment until the absolute end of the life cycle. Our oversight, service, and operation systems meet ISO9001 and ISO14001 standards and completely protect the safety of clients’ intellectual property and material. Reports provide detail right down to the serial numbers and type of items recycled. A certificate of recycling is issued that indicates and represents the EPA approved recycling center and EPA ID number where the service was performed.

PTS takes a multi- dimensional, systematic approach that starts with a commitment and a shared philosophy from all partners. Constant monitoring ensures we are all on the same page with the same goal and maintaining a high priority in operating in a sound and ecologically safe manner.
