Why Choose Our Services?

We are your locally owned leader for secure destruction when IT assets such as servers or disk arrays are retired, or when storage media has reached end-of-life. Don’t run the risk of a piece of data being duplicated, recovered or restored. Both Shred Right’s mobile on-site shredder and off-site Shredding Vault™ are AAA NAID-Certified and endorsed for hard drive and non-paper media destruction. Shred Right’s team can even conduct a complete project inventory by documenting all volser numbers (for data tapes) or serial numbers (for hard drives) being destroyed and linking them directly to your Certificate of Destruction.

Understanding Data Sanitization

For data storage devices, such as disk drives and tapes, the process of destroying the information they hold is sometimes referred to as sanitization. And for some IT departments this meant having to wipe or degauss used media. As storage media advances, so does the ongoing debate over the security of these actions alone, and this is why so many companies are turning to physical destruction of the media itself as the answer.

Why Trust Shred Right?

Your company’s data, active or at rest, is valuable and the disposal of this asset shouldn’t be left to chance. Shred Right was the first shredding company in Minnesota to take on large scale hard drive destruction projects and is the only one with a dedicated IT destruction team that specializes in hard drive and magnetic media destruction. They are not only familiar with these devices but understand the critical nature of the information they protect.
