When most people think of data destruction, they don’t picture a mobile shredding truck winding its way through the Alps. But that’s exactly what our International DiskShred Technician, Colin Craig, is doing this month as he takes one of our DiskShred vehicles on the road across Europe to destroy countless hard drives and other data bearing media for clients.
Last week, Colin made his way through Amsterdam, Düsseldorf and Frankfurt, helping clients safeguard their information by securely destroying their data onsite. This week, his journey continues through Switzerland and into Italy, with stops in Milan and Rome. Wherever he goes, one thing stays the same: total confidence that no trace of our clients’ data will remain.
Why leading organisations choose DiskShred
From city centres to remote industrial parks, DiskShred, Vyta’s onsite data destruction service offers the most reliable and cost-effective on-site shredding solution across Europe. Each of our state-of-the-art secure vehicles are fitted with ADISA certified shredders and advanced CCTV systems giving clients complete transparency and peace of mind.
For those who want to see the action up close, each truck includes a viewing gallery where clients can watch their data being destroyed in real time.
DiskShred can handle all sorts of data bearing media, from hard drives and backup tapes to solid state devices, USBs and memory sticks. Over the last five years, we have securely destroyed more than 2.5 million data bearing items for clients across Europe. That figure represents the trust our clients place in us as well as complete compliance and security.
Full control. Full compliance.
To make data destruction even safer, DiskShred supplies secure media storage containers so that items can be collected and stored before shredding. These lockable units can be kept within a client’s secure area until our team arrives to complete the process.
Every DiskShred service meets the highest standards of data protection and environmental responsibility. Our security vetted team provides full documentation and certificates of destruction for every job, ensuring complete traceability and compliance.
We manage the entire process from start to finish, combining on site shredding, secure recycling and full certification, delivering a complete service and chain of custody.
From destruction to responsible disposal
Once the data-bearing devices have been completely destroyed, every piece of material is securely collected and transferred to DiskShred’s approved recycling partners for processing. All debris is handled in strict accordance with local and EU regulations on the treatment of electrical waste, ensuring full compliance throughout the process.
As part of our commitment to sustainability, metals such as aluminium, copper and steel are carefully separated and recycled for reuse in new manufacturing, transforming what once stored sensitive information into new materials and products. At every stage, security remains the highest priority, and nothing leaves DiskShred’s control until it has been fully processed and certified.
DiskShred works exclusively with recycling partners known for their excellent recovery rates and strong compliance standards. Clients can be confident that even after destruction, their materials are managed responsibly, securely and with complete accountability.
Certified data destruction, delivered
Our focus on security, compliance and sustainability gives organisations confidence that their data is being handled properly, wherever they are based.
Whether you operate from a single office or across multiple countries, DiskShred brings secure, responsible data destruction directly to your site.
