Fully DoD, NASA, NAID, & NIST Compliant Data Destruction
At Chicago Surplus Computers, we specialize in secure, certified data destruction services designed to eliminate sensitive information for good. Whether you’re disposing of old hard drives, solid-state drives (SSD), or backup media, we offer advanced destruction methods to ensure your data is completely unrecoverable.
Our services include DoD compliant data wiping and hard drive shredding. Hard drive shredding physically destroys the drive, rendering it useless, disrupts all stored data at the core level. These options are ideal for businesses with strict compliance requirements.
We offer destruction services based on your security preferences. Our services follow a secure chain of custody with tracked handling from pickup to final destruction.
For added assurance, we provide Certificate of Data Destruction, detailing the method used, serial numbers, and date of service. Our process is fully compliant with NASA, NAID, and NIST compliant data destruction methods.
For fast, professional, and fully secure data destruction services across Chicago, we are your best bet. We help you protect your privacy—and the planet—every step of the way.
Our data destruction specialist visits your location to evaluate the number of devices, the sensitivity of the data, and any compliance requirements. Based on this, we develop a custom plan outlining the time, tools, and resources required.
Our team uses advanced data wiping software that meets DoD, NAID, and NIST standards to ensure complete erasure of all data from storage media. This method guarantees that no data can be recovered.
For physical destruction, we use NSA-compliant shredding equipment. Hard drives and other data storage devices are reduced to tiny, irrecoverable fragments for total security.
Once destroyed, all shredded components are collected and sent to certified e-waste recycling facilities for safe, environmentally responsible disposal.
We provide serialized Certificates of Data Destruction for each device processed, serving as documented proof for internal audits, compliance, or legal purposes.
Both your team and ours confirm that all devices have been securely destroyed and properly recycled, completing the process with full transparency and peace of mind.
