Media never leaves your premises

On-Site Data Destruction in India

We bring Proton degaussers and crushers to your site, sanitise and physically destroy your media in your presence, and hand back a signed destruction register. Available across India.

We mobilise

Machine, engineer, register templates, sanitiser labels and containers. Travel and mobilisation are quoted with the job.

We reconcile your list

Your asset list is walked against the media in front of you. Discrepancies are noted at the start, not discovered at the end.

We destroy on site

Degauss with per-cycle verification, then crush. Flash and optical media are shredded. Nothing leaves as intact media.

You sign the register

One row per asset with the verification value, signed by our operator and your custodian as the run proceeds.

We remove the scrap

Destroyed scrap is removed in sealed containers and handed to an authorised e-waste recycler, with documentation provided to you.

You receive the pack

Destruction register, volume reconciliation with exceptions, machine verification certificate, recycler documentation and a signed certificate.

Why on-site is often the right answer

  • Media does not travel. For banks, government departments and defence organisations, the media never leaving the secure perimeter is worth the mobilisation cost on its own.
  • Evidence is stronger. A witnessed, in-room run signed as it happens is far more persuasive to an auditor than a register produced elsewhere.
  • Chain of custody stays intact. No transit, no handover risk, no gap.
  • It closes findings fast. An audit finding that requires evidence by a date cannot wait for a procurement cycle.
  • Discrepancies surface early. Walking your list against the actual media at the start is how you find the drive nobody told you about.

What to prepare before we arrive

  1. An asset list with tag or serial number and media type. If you do not have one, we will build it on the day.
  2. A named custodian from your side who can sign throughout the run.
  3. Access to the media and a controlled working area.
  4. A 230 V socket near the work area, and a bench or table for the crusher.
  5. Exclusion list — leased equipment to be returned intact, or media under legal hold.
  6. Confirmation that the retention period has expired for everything in scope.
  7. Volume and planning

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions Indian buyers ask most often. Cannot find yours? Call us — we answer technical questions on the phone.

What is the difference between on-site destruction and the full service?
On-site means we bring the machines to your premises and run the sanitisation and destruction there, so media never leaves your site. The full service additionally includes collection, secure transit, disposal and reconciliation. Many clients want on-site sanitisation with on-site crushing and collection of the scrap afterwards.
What do you need at our site?
A standard 230 V socket near the working area, a reasonably dry and ventilated space, a table or bench for the crusher, and a named custodian who can sign the register. That is genuinely all.
Can our auditor watch?
Yes, and for bank, financial and government engagements it is normal. We will run the batch in the room and sign each step as it happens.
How long does an on-site run take?
A 200-drive batch with a T-5 and a PDS-100 is comfortably a working day including logging. A 1,000-drive project is a few days. Flash shredding is slower per item, so phones and cards are priced and scheduled separately.
Do you sign our format or yours?
Whichever you prefer. Send your template and we will work to it; if you have none, we will supply ours.
Is on-site more expensive?
Slightly, because of travel and mobilisation. For media that should not leave your site, or where your security policy requires destruction in your presence, that is the correct trade-off.
