Secure Data Destruction
Every retired device that ever touched your data is a liability until that data is provably gone. TurnKey provides certified data destruction: NIST 800-88 compliant software erasure for resale-eligible drives, physical destruction for everything else, and a serialized record tying each erasure or shred to the chassis serial it came from.
How it works
For regulated environments like healthcare, finance, government, and education, a verbal 'we wiped it' is not enough. You receive a Certificate of Data Destruction and asset-level reporting suitable for HIPAA, FACTA, GLBA, and state-privacy audits, so you can prove chain of custody long after the equipment is gone.

- Serialized, drive-level record of erasure tied to chassis serial
- Certificate of Data Destruction for compliance

- NAID AAA certified processing
Frequently asked questions
What is a Certificate of Data Destruction? +
It's the compliance document proving each of your drives was wiped or destroyed. It lists the assets by serial number and the method used, and it's what auditors and regulators expect to see for HIPAA, FACTA, GLBA, and similar requirements.
Do you wipe drives or physically destroy them? +
Both, depending on the drive. Healthy, resale-eligible drives are erased to NIST 800-88 standards and verified so the equipment can be remarketed; failed drives and any you designate are physically destroyed. You choose the standard that fits your policy.
Can data destruction happen on-site? +
Yes. For the highest-security requirements we can arrange on-site destruction so drives never leave your facility intact; otherwise a secure chain-of-custody pickup covers most needs at lower cost.
