Following best practices set by the National Association of Information Destruction, from transportation to destruction, we adhere to a strict process when handling all of your sensitive information. When transporting your devices, we use fully vetted drivers, and our secure vehicles are tracked until your equipment reaches our facility. NAID AAA certification means that you can rest assured that your data will be handled with care and the utmost in security throughout our entire removal and destruction process.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) offers guidelines of media sanitation and destruction. When we say that we comply with NIST 800-88 Rev.1 standards & guidelines, that means that we obtained certification in compliance with the U.S. government and follow these standards and guidance for erasing data from storage media. Established to ensure storage media data is irretrievable, NIST 800-88 Rev. 1 standards & guidelines ensure that your data is handled and destroyed in a secure way.

PCI DSS stands for Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. It is a security system used for major credit card brands. It was established to manage cardholder data and minimalize credit card fraud more effectively. We can securely remove and destroy PCI DSS data at Lexington Computer Recycling. 

PHI stands for Protected Health Information which is information about health care provision, payment, or status.

Businesses often discard technology and data that is no longer needed in order to create space for more current and relevant information. End-of-life data is data in the final stage of its life cycle, meaning the technology or data is being replaced and the data it contains must be purged and destroyed in a secure fashion. 

Here at Lexington Computer Recycling, we are not limited to shredding just hard drives. We can destroy computers, laptops, solid-state drives, CDs, flash drives, smartphones, tablets, tapes, electronic records, and more. Speak with a member of our team to inquire about your data destruction needs.

Our number one priority is your data security. Whatever type of tech you have, we know what to look for and how to secure your data. Once we have your devices and equipment in hand, we process them as quickly as possible. 

Before we begin the shredding process, we scan each individual serial number which allows us to create a certificate of destruction. Every piece of technology is shredded through our advanced state-of-the-art shredder and the remaining materials are recycled to help the environment and to be repurposed for other uses.  Read our blog to learn more about the kinds of data we can recycle.

At the end of the process, we will provide you with an auditable serialized inventory of all the destroyed items. 

Once the process is completed, we send a certificate of destruction or sanitization directly to you so you can have it for your filing and reporting purposes.
