SecureTrack Data Destruction is at the heart of EPC’s chain-of-custody and hard drive sanitization procedure. Upon receipt of your equipment, all assets bearing hard drives (PCs, laptops, servers, PDAs, etc) are locked down in a limited access cage at EPC’s processing center. At the customer’s option, hard drives are either sanitized via multiple pass overwrites (typically a three pass overwrite) or physically destroyed by shredding – both processes follow US Department of Defense specification 5220.22-M. Only then can these assets enter the general population of equipment for diagnostic and audit testing, or disposal by legitimate recycling.
EPC uses proprietary data destruction software from Blancco which overwrites all data three times or more (upon request) with a randomly generated series of 1s and Os. The Blancco process produces a tamper-proof, cryptographically signed certificate of data destruction that identifies hard drives by serial number and is admissible in a court of law. In-operable or non-working hard drives are always physically destroyed by shredding and subsequently recycled.
