Our Destruction Methods

NIST 800-88 & DoD Wiping

We use enterprise-grade software following NIST 800-88 and DoD standards to overwrite data across the entire drive. This allows the drive to be reused safely while rendering previous data unrecoverable.

Physical Shredding

For damaged drives or maximum security requirements, we physically shred the storage media into scrap metal. This is the ultimate form of data destruction.

On-Site vs Off-Site

We process drives at our secure Sugar Land facility (Off-Site). For large enterprise projects, we can arrange secure logistics for On-Site verification.

From pickup to certification, here's how we ensure complete data security.

Data Destruction FAQ

What is NIST 800-88 data destruction?

NIST 800-88 is a set of guidelines published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology for media sanitization. EverTrade follows both NIST 800-88 and DoD standards to ensure complete, unrecoverable data destruction.

Do you provide a Certificate of Destruction?

Yes, we provide a signed Certificate of Destruction for every job. This includes serial numbers, destruction method used, and date of destruction for your compliance records.

Is your data destruction HIPAA compliant?

Yes, our services meet HIPAA, FACTA, GLBA, and SOX compliance requirements. We maintain detailed audit trails and provide certification documentation.

What's the difference between wiping and shredding?

Data wiping overwrites all data, allowing drive reuse. Physical shredding destroys the drive completely. Both render data unrecoverable, but shredding is preferred for maximum security.
