Facility-based destruction
Secure Data Destruction for Data Centers
For data centers that need tight control over drives leaving the facility, USACA Group scans drives against your list, seals them before they leave your perimeter, moves them under tracked custody and destroys them in our secured facilities — witnessable by your team and evidenced serial by serial. We review your security requirements first and build the custody plan around them.
Who this service is for
Security, risk and compliance owners in financial services, healthcare, government and regulated enterprise data centers with strict media-custody requirements.
Sealed from your rack to our shredder, witnessable by your staff, with serialized logs and certificates issued for the destruction event.
