Process & security

Are your data destruction services certified?

Datraction does not claim NCSC Assured Service, ADISA, ISO or a separate 'GDPR-certified' sanitisation status. We select a method appropriate to the media, record the work and can issue a destruction report on request. If your policy requires a named accreditation, tell us before booking so we can advise honestly.

Certification and evidence are different

The UK GDPR does not create a generic label called “GDPR-certified data destruction”. Organisations still need an appropriate process, accountability and evidence that disposal matches the sensitivity of the information and the storage technology involved.

Datraction does not advertise a third-party sanitisation accreditation that it does not hold. A destruction report can be supplied on request, recording the device and the method used.

Match the method to the medium

Verified overwriting may be appropriate for a functioning magnetic drive. Supported sanitise or secure-erase commands may be appropriate for some flash media. Failed devices and cases requiring the strongest assurance may need physical destruction. We agree the intended outcome before the work begins.
