We provide a fully auditable record of secure data handling, giving you peace of mind, regulatory assurance, and complete oversight of every asset processed.
A Data Destruction Audit is a complete record of how your data-bearing devices are collected, erased, or destroyed, giving you full visibility and compliance assurance.
A data destruction audit is the paper trail behind your IT disposal. It accounts for each device individually: what was collected, what was done to it, who handled it and when. The method used varies by asset and by policy, and the audit records whichever one was applied.
Everything starts with an asset register. Every device is logged by serial number, make and model, with site, department and collection date recorded against it, and where you keep your own register we check ours against yours and report the differences.
Collection logs sit alongside it, tracking custody from the moment equipment leaves your building, with the vehicle, the personnel and a timestamp captured at every handover. Vehicles are GPS-tracked and staff are screened to BS 7858.
The method is then recorded per device and never per consignment, whether that means certified erasure using NCSC-approved software or physical destruction to BS EN 15713. Which one applies comes down to the condition of the asset and your own security policy, and destruction carried out at your premises is logged in the same detail as work done at our facility.
Certificates carry those serial numbers instead of job numbers, and come individually or consolidated into a single report depending on what your auditor wants to see. Where destruction is witnessed, photographic or video evidence can be attached. All of it lives in a secure portal, held continuously, in one view across every site and every year, with access that lasts if your business has personnel changes in the future.

Public Health & NHSRegulated organisations come to us first: NHS trusts, financial services firms, law practices and government bodies, where disposal evidence gets examined by somebody external and a gap becomes a formal finding. Multi-site estates follow, usually because their records have ended up spread across several offices and various suppliers, with no way to pull a single view together quickly. Beyond that, anyone working towards ISO 27001 surveillance, a DSPT deadline, an insurer review, a client security questionnaire or an ICO enquiry will be asked for asset-level detail.
Run alongside full IT asset disposal, the audit picks up carbon impact reporting and resale recovery, so data security, sustainability and asset value all come out of one job.
An audit trail carries the credibility of whoever produced it. If a supplier’s own certification cannot be checked, neither can the paperwork they issue you. Our full accreditation library, including live certificates, is published on our website rather than supplied on request. Staff are screened to BS 7858, and our quality, environmental and information security systems are certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 27001.
