How to securely erase your SSD Data without destroying it

At Liquid Technology, our hard drive wiping services are among our most popular because this advanced data destruction process protects the integrity of the drive, thus allowing it to be reused or sold without the risk of data being pulled from the device. In this blog post, we take a look at a recent assignment in which this service proved especially beneficial.

A Financial Client with Serious Data Concerns

Liquid Technology was recently contacted by a top-rated financial company that was facing a serious dilemma regarding its inventory of unused hard drives. The company had a surplus of inactive IT assets that still held a high value on the secondary market and they wanted to take advantage of that demand in order to obtain the highest return possible on their equipment. But, company executives were wary of selling the equipment for fear of sensitive financial data being recovered from the hard drives.

The problem was that executives preferred to have the drives physically shredded, but they didn’t want to forfeit the return the valuable equipment promised.

With Liquid Technology, Wiping Hard Drives is Quick and Effective

Liquid Technology conducted a thorough assessment of the client’s inventory in order to verify the overall value of the equipment. Our assessment specialists then consulted with the client, giving the executives our recommendations. It was agreed that wiping the hard drives using our proprietary data wiping software would provide the client with the results they were looking for. Best-in-class data destruction services were then performed in accordance with the client’s security policy and meets or excess DOD and NIST 800.88 guidelines.

Once the data wiping process was completed, the client was issued a complete and auditable report of the process and the equipment was checked for functionality and then cleared for sale on the secondary market. Liquid Technology handled the marketing and sale of the equipment, gaining the client a return on their investment that was even greater than what they had anticipated.
