Data Destruction. Risk Mitigation.
When IT equipment reaches the end of its life, the data it holds doesn’t. Sensitive information stored on drives, servers, and mobile devices remains one of the biggest security and compliance risks for any organization. A single oversight can lead to data breaches, regulatory penalties, and loss of trust.
Our data destruction process ensures complete, irreversible data elimination. Whether performed on-site or at a secure facility, each drive is tracked, verified, and documented. The result is a clear, compliant chain of custody and the confidence that your organization’s data can never be recovered or misused.

Uncompromising Data Protection
OceanTech uses industry-certified methods ranging from multi-pass software erasure to physical destruction, including shredding and degaussing, to ensure no data is recoverable. Certificates of Data Destruction are provided as tangible proof that your data was handled securely and in full compliance with all regulations.

Level 1
All data-containing devices undergo compliant software-based erasure using WipeOS’s proprietary data destruction solution. Upon completion, a Certificate of Destruction (CoD) is issued verifying that industry, regulatory, and environmental standards have been met.
No detailed device report is provided at this level.
Level 2
Devices are erased using WipeOS with full compliance to industry, regulatory, and environmental standards. A detailed report accompanies the project, listing each device’s make, model, serial number, and storage (e.g., hard drive) serial number, along with the Certificate of Destruction (CoD).
Level 3
All hard drives and data-containing media are physically destroyed. Each project includes a comprehensive report detailing device make, model, serial number, and storage serial number, as well as a Certificate of Destruction (CoD) documenting compliance with all data destruction, regulatory, and environmental standards.
