Secure on-site data sanitisation & media destruction before assets leave your site.
Protect your organisation’s data, reputation and compliance by destroying data-bearing devices on site. Delivered by CiLifecycle, our Data Destruction service provides controlled, certified and auditable sanitisation or shredding of drives, media and hardware, handled by experts under a strict chain of custody within UK-regulated frameworks.
Our On Site Data Destruction service brings the process to you. Certified technicians attend your premises and destroy or sanitise data bearing devices on site. Whether you need hard drives shredded, tapes destroyed, or SSDs securely wiped, we handle it without any media leaving your control. The service is planned around your security and operational requirements, with controlled working areas, clear sign-off, and documented evidence of every action taken.
Our approach is especially suited for environments that handle sensitive personal, financial, or classified data, where transporting storage media off-site could introduce unnecessary exposure. On-site destruction provides immediate verification, visual confirmation and a full chain of custody from start to finish, supported by certificates and audit records you can use for governance and compliance.

Data is rendered irrecoverable through approved methods such as certified data erasure, degaussing or physical destruction. The method used is determined by the data classification and the applicable ADISA DIAL level. All processes follow documented procedures and are verified before completion.
Yes. A certificate of destruction or data sanitisation is provided for each asset or batch. This documentation supports audit, compliance and internal governance requirements.
Yes. Destruction can be witnessed by authorised personnel where required, and full records are maintained. All services are delivered in line with UK GDPR and data protection obligations, with auditable evidence retained.
Where data risk and device condition allow, hardware can be sanitised and reused or refurbished. If reuse is not appropriate due to data sensitivity or asset condition, physical destruction is applied using certified methods.
Materials are processed in line with environmental regulations and ISO 14001 controls. Components are separated and recycled responsibly to reduce landfill and support circular IT practices.
