Storage media containing confidential data and information are very diverse. Digital media play an increasingly important role in our era alongside the classic data carrier paper.
All too often, however, hard disks are handled very carelessly when old equipment is disposed of. The result is that valuable information falls into the wrong hands and may cause substantial damage running into millions.
The DIN standard 66399 takes this diversity into account and defines safety for all modern media and describes the requirements for both machines and processes for the destruction of data carriers. Standard-compliant destruction of stored data can only be achieved by mechanical destruction of the device. A recovery of data from the shredded devices is thus rendered impossible.
Our Erdwich technology prevents the reproduction of sensitive data. With our shredders, we offer safe and reliable destruction of storage media in accordance with DIN standard 66399. In the course of hard disk destruction, all hard disk layers, mechanisms and components are destroyed. Thus, all data are deleted irrecoverably.
With our stationary and mobile solutions for each of the protection classes covering a total of 7 security levels, we provide an absolutely secure and efficient solution for your data destruction.
According to DIN 66399, the protection requirements of your data are classified into three protection classes.
Different security levels can be assigned to each protection class. Starting with security level 1 for data carriers with general data up to security level 7 for top secret high security data. The data carrier particle sizes in the security levels have also been adapted in line with the state of the art of the technology. Each type of data carrier is described by an abbreviation that precedes the security level.
For example, if a hard disk is destroyed according to security level H-5, no more personal data can be read or reconstructed. Regardless of the required protection class, security level and type of data carrier processed, our tailor-made shredding solutions provide secure destruction of your data in accordance with the latest DIN standard 66399.
