Data Destruction Methods
When data is deleted, it is no longer readily accessible by the operating system or the application that created it, but this does not mean it is gone. Deleting a file is insufficient for complete data removal. Data remains on a device even after computers or servers are replaced, and your protective measures should reflect this ongoing risk.
At IT Hub & Recycling London, we are specialists in secure data destruction, offering our clients complete peace of mind through strict, methodical processes approved to Military Standards. When it comes to safeguarding your business’s reputation, intellectual property, or your clients’ sensitive information, there is no room for compromise.
We are experienced in destroying data stored on hard drives, tape drives, mobile phones, memory cards, and other forms of electronic media, ensuring that the data is rendered completely unreadable and cannot be accessed or used for unauthorized purposes.
Our expertise, combined with over two decades of experience, guarantees that your data is securely and irreversibly destroyed, so you can focus on what matters most without the worry of data breaches.

After the data is erased, you’ll receive a digitally signed, tamper-proof certificate of erasure for each device, providing a detailed audit trail to ensure transparency and security.
By using YouWipe, your IT equipment can be safely refurbished and reintroduced back into the market, completely free of any residual data, as if it had never been used before.
Degaussing: Secure Data Destruction
When software-based methods cannot fully erase your data, IT Hub & Recycling uses on-site degaussing to effectively and permanently destroy sensitive information.
A degausser works by disrupting and eliminating the magnetic field stored on disk media and tapes. Once this magnetic field is interrupted, the information on the hard drive becomes scrambled and is rendered completely irretrievable. This ensures that your data is permanently destroyed, leaving no chance for unauthorized recovery.
Degaussing is a highly reliable method for securely erasing data from hard drives, tape drives, and other magnetic media, offering you the peace of mind that your sensitive information has been completely obliterated.
Shredding: Secure Physical Data Destruction
When wiping or degaussing isn’t enough, IT Hub & Recycling London offers mechanical shredding to permanently destroy your data. Our shredders reduce hard drives, SSDs, and other devices into tiny, irretrievable fragments, ensuring that your sensitive information is destroyed beyond recovery.
Shredding is the most secure method of data destruction, fully compliant with regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA. After shredding, you’ll receive a Certificate of Destruction for your records, verifying that your data has been securely disposed of.
How It Works:
- Secure Collection: Devices are collected using GPS-tracked vehicles.
- Complete Destruction: Shredders reduce devices to tiny fragments.
- Certification: A Certificate of Destruction is issued for your audit trail.
- Recycling: All shredded material is responsibly recycled.
Trust IT Hub & Recycling London for the ultimate data protection with shredding services you can count on.
