Witness The Destruction

Vyta understand the importance of secure data disposal for our clients. That’s why we offer the option for clients to witness the shredding of their data-bearing devices first-hand in a viewing compartment in our trucks. This allows clients to see that their devices are being properly and securely destroyed.

Additionally, we can provide CCTV footage of the shredding process to our clients. This footage is searchable by serial number, so clients can easily locate and view the shredding of any specific device. This added level of transparency helps to ensure that our clients can have complete confidence in the permanent destruction of their data.

Environmentally Responsible

Environmentally Responsible

Once the shredding process has been completed, Vyta process the debris for recycling. This debris can contain materials such as aluminium or copper, which can then be reused in the production of brand new equipment, offsetting some of the carbon footprint of the original device.

Encrypted Asset Register

More than 80% of our clients request that their items are tracked as part of the shredding process, ensuring that they have confirmation of the data destruction of individual devices. To facilitate this request, we created an encrypted asset register for our clients’ highly confidential hard drives and storage media. This is also searchable by the type of media (e.g. hard disks, media tapes, CDs), the asset tag (serial number or other identifiers), the number of units and the date and time they were shredded.
