Data Destruction

Certified. Verified. Responsible.

At RedLibrary, we provide certified data destruction and secure ITAD services for individuals, sole traders, and SMEs. Whether it's a hard drive, USB stick, smartphone, or full system — we guarantee complete and irreversible data removal using offline, compliance-based methods with full visual and digital verification.

Our Methodology

All devices are processed in a secure, isolated environment with no external network access. Wiping and destruction are performed in accordance with GDPR, ISO 27001, NCSC, NIST 800-88 Rev.1, and NIS2 compliance standards, using DoD 5220.22-M (3-pass) or firmware-based Secure Erase procedures. Every process is recorded under 24/7 CCTV surveillance for full accountability.

If a device cannot be securely wiped and no return is requested, we perform physical destruction at no extra cost. In wipe-and-return cases, customers are notified if wiping fails and can choose between return or destruction — both actions are documented and certified.

Why Proper Data Destruction Matters

Formatting or factory-resetting a device does not securely erase data. Hidden partitions, swap space, and logs can still contain recoverable information — even on encrypted drives. Our service guarantees evidence-backed, compliance-verified erasure aligned with GDPR, ISO 27001, NCSC, NIST, and NIS2 standards. We also ensure minimal environmental impact by prioritising reuse and component recycling wherever possible.

Erase your devices securely, with traceable proof — not just promises.

Let us help you destroy or wipe your data the professional, compliant way.
