Secure data erasure

Protect your business with certified data erasure

Hard drive and data erasure removes any risk of data exposure by erasing all data and leaving the hard drive intact for reuse. Unlike physical destruction, data erasure allows your organization to resell, reuse, or donate IT assets safely and sustainably.

Keystone offers certified data erasure services and ensures your data is fully sanitized, keeping your organization protected.

Thousands of satisfied customers since 2001. 

Eliminate risk. Preserve value. Stay compliant.

As your organization upgrades or retires IT equipment, protecting sensitive data remains critical. Unused, outdated hardware sitting in storage creates unnecessary security risks.

Keystone’s data erasure services will:

Ensure sensitive data remains confidential

Eliminate risk from outdated and retired equipment

Keep retired IT assets intact for resell or reuse

Frequently asked questions

What is data erasure?

Data erasure is a certified process that permanently removes all information from a storage device by overwriting every sector of the drive, making the data unrecoverable.

Is data erasure better than hard drive destruction?

For reusable equipment, data erasure preserves asset value while ensuring complete data sanitization. If a drive fails the erasure process, the drive is shred and physically destroyed.

What is NIST 800-88?

NIST 800-88 is the U.S. government standard that explains how to securely erase or destroy data on storage media ensuring any information on the device is unrecoverable.

Do you provide documentation?

Yes. We provide certificates of recycling and destruction, and serialized audits.

Do you provide documentation for compliance and audits?

Yes. Every project will receive:

  • Full serialized inventory reports

  • Certificates of Data Destruction

  • Certificates of Recycling

  • Chain of custody documentation

  • Final reconciliation reports

Our documentation supports regulatory requirements across healthcare, finance, education, and government sectors. Learn more about our chain of custody.

What happens to equipment that has no resale value?

As an Rv23-certified e-waste recycler, we responsibly recycle non-resalable assets in compliance with environmental regulations.

Learn more about certified e-waste recycling.

How do I sell my used IT equipment?

Keystone makes selling used IT equipment simple and secure. After data erasure, we assess your assets for resale eligibility, determine fair market value, and remarket qualified equipment through trusted secondary channels.

You receive clear reporting, documentation, and payment without managing buyers, logistics, or risk. For devices that don’t meet resale criteria, we ensure responsible recycling or secure destruction.
