The Only Comprehensive Global Onsite Service Offering

Data security is the core of Green Delete. We are the most experienced team of certified specialists in mobile, onsite, data destruction for data-bearing devices. Our expertise, our process, and the technologies we use in our decommissioning solutions allow for unmatched operational speed, scale, and efficiency for data destruction, without requiring any technology resources from clients.

This allows your organization to maintain custody of your data until we deliver certified, verified, and indemnified sanitation of data – no matter how complex the equipment, how large the data store, or how great the number of devices.

Secure Your Data, Comply with Regulations, and Protect Your Business

Developing an end-to-end data protection strategy is one of the most complex tasks facing organizations today. The risks associated with failure to properly secure data during the decommissioning process – whether a handheld tablet or a data center storage array with a petabyte of sensitive data – can result in crippling fines and irreparable damage to your reputation, not to mention civil and criminal liability.

SECURITY

Our direct-connect hardware-based sanitation provides greater security for your data than network-based software-wiping tools.

SPEED

We achieve the industry’s highest volume and fastest eradication times for onsite sanitation – providing operational efficiency

SCALE

Our equipment and processes scale easily to accommodate petabytes of data and thousands of devices.

FLEXIBILITY

Every project is staffed with an experienced, trained, thoroughly screened, background-checked, full-time data eradication specialist.

Our onsite data decommissioning solutions exceed the most stringent and most up-to-date security recommendations published by such recognized industry groups as the National Association of Information Destruction (NAID) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which supersede outdated Department of Defense (DoD) guidelines

If your organization entrusts your data destruction to hourly waged technicians in a warehouse, or inexperienced and untrained internal IT staff running off the shelf software, you are putting your business at risk.

If you believe that destroying assets is the safest and least expensive way to decommission data, you’re missing an opportunity to reduce your IT spend and make a more environmentally conscious decision.

BUSINESS STRUCTURE

Eradicates any storage type to the most secure level available for that storage technology

Provides custom reporting and Certificates of Destruction that exceed requirements for a legally defensible asset audit trail

Sanitizes live or decommissioned equipment

Is a mobile organization that can land a team onsite anywhere in the world in as few as 72 hours

We have very few requirements to get the job done, meaning Green Delete:

does not require network access

does not require a large physical workspace

does not require individual software overwriting disks to be loaded

does not manufacture or sell any software or hardware products

does not require a separate licensing fee for each hard drive

does not require a working host system and BIOS

Responsible Eradication: Reducing Your Footprint and Increasing Your Bottom Line

Despite common misperception, security and sustainability are not mutually exclusive. Dictating that all data-bearing devices are destroyed to achieve a safe sanitation of data serves the objectives of a select few within an organization. Similarly, it’s a misconception that asset destruction is the least-expensive approach to data destruction. Allowing for the reuse of assets that are not aged beyond usefulness and still functioning is not only the most environmentally conscious best practice, but it can reduce costs and drive profitability. Only assets that are beyond usefulness should be sent for environmentally responsible recycling. For example, a 500GB hard drive could command $25 in resale value, a laptop or desktop $50. Why would you pay someone $10 to destroy it?

This example was prepared using the United States Electronics Environmental Benefits Calculator *.

The environmental benefits of Reuse and Recycling are compared. 100 computers with CRT monitors are either Recycled or Reused. The savings are compared to disposing of the equipment in a landfill.

	100 Computers Recycled	100 Computers Reused
Energy Savings	Saves enough electricity to power 2.75 U.S. households in a year	Saves enough electricity to power 68.00 U.S. households in a year
Greenhouse Gas Reduction**	Same as removing 1.95 passenger cars from the road per year	Same as removing 48 passenger cars from the road per year
Solid Waste Reduction	Removes the equivalent of the solid waste generated by 1.8 households per year	Removes the equivalent of the solid waste generated by 1.8 households per year
Primary Material Savings**	Saves the equivalent weight of 7.33 refrigerators	Saves the equivalent weight of 7.33 refrigerators
Hazardous Waste Reduction	Reduces hazardous waste by the weight of 720 bricks	Reduces hazardous waste by the weight of 720 bricks
Toxic Material Reduction: All Toxics (including Mercury)	Reduces toxic materials waste by the weight of 3.97 bricks	Reduces toxic materials waste by the weight of 3.97 bricks
Toxic Material Reduction: Mercury Only	Reduces the amount of Mercury in fewer than 0.01 mercury fever thermometers”	Reduces the amount of Mercury in fewer than 0.01 mercury fever thermometers
Air Emissions**	Reduces air emissions by 129 metric tons (142.2 U.S. tons)	Reduces air emissions by 3,183 metric tons (3,508.7 U.S. tons)
Water emissions**	Reduces water emissions by 0.27 metric tons (0.30 U.S. tons)	Reduces water emissions by 6.66 metric tons (7.43 U.S. tons)
Replacement Cost Savings	$2,708	$66,801

Testimonials

“Green Delete was instrumental in helping the NAID Certification Rules Committee to develop the certification specifications for Onsite Computer Hard Drive Sanitization. NAID does not certify equipment or software, and rather than focus solely on the sanitization process, NAID certification also verifies compliance with requirements for employee screening and training, access control, written policies and procedures, and data breach notification, in addition to validating that no data can be recovered from sanitized drives, for a comprehensive validation of the entire secure data eradication process. We are proud to have Green Delete as a AAA Certified member, the first to earn certification for onsite sanitization operations. As of November 2014, they are in an elite group of 12 companies who hold this certification.”

Holly Vandervort NAID Chief Compliance Officer

“In April of 2013, we at Christiana Care Health System engaged Green Delete to assist with decommissioning 11 HP EVA Storage Systems with over 1100 drives containing greater than 400TB of data from two of our data centers in Delaware. Before contracting with Green Delete, they worked closely with our IT Security team to thoroughly review their data sanitation process and technology, after which we felt 100% comfortable that our highly sensitive data was in the right hands. CCHS We also has strict insurance minimums and certification requirements for vendors that access our data, and Green Delete met all of those prerequisites. They did a very nice job and finished way ahead of schedule, completing the work in two days. We are looking forward to a second engagement with Green Delete in Q42014.”
