Our Secure Data Destruction Methods

secure destruction method

1. Data Wiping: Drive and mobile erasure

Certified Data Erasure for Asset Recovery

Our software-based solution guarantees the permanent destruction of all data on hard drives, tablets, and smartphones. Unlike physical destruction, this method sanitises the device while keeping the hardware fully operational. This allows organisations to securely repurpose or resell IT assets, maximising return on investment and supporting environmental sustainability—all while ensuring strict compliance with data protection regulations and eliminating the risk of a breach.

a) Drive Erasure

Data erasure is the process of permanently sanitising memory devices, rendering data unrecoverable even by advanced forensic tools. However, for internal IT departments, this is often a resource-heavy burden; manually erasing a single desktop or laptop can take anywhere from 1 to 13 hours.

Crown Workspace Singapore eliminates this bottleneck. We utilise the industry’s most certified software to provide secure erasure that is 100% compliant with Singaporean standards. Our solution works at scale—across active networks, device fleets, and multi-location data centers – saving your team time while ensuring total security.

Key Benefits

Securely erase HDDs, SSDs, and self-encrypting drives.
Receive a certified, tamper-proof audit trail for every device.
Manage loose drives and Chromebooks individually or at scale.
Faster, error-free erasure with automated settings.
Supports internal drive erasure commands.
Flexible deployment options to meet security needs enterprise-wide.
An eco-friendly solution for IT asset lifecycle management.

b) Mobile Erasure

Our advanced software securely and permanently wipes all user data—including emails, photos, and contacts – from smartphones and tablets. Designed for mobile carriers, 3PLs, recyclers, and refurbishment operations, this solution is built to drive operational excellence and maximise resale profits.

We offer the market’s fastest and most effective verified iOS erasure. By combining high-speed sanitisation with configurable diagnostic testing, we process devices quickly and accurately. Every erased device generates a digitally signed, tamper-proof certificate, providing a complete audit trail that ensures assets are ready for safe reuse, recycling, or resale.

Key Benefits

Secure erasure for all device platforms.
Fully automated for faster processing.
Monitor devices throughout their lifecycle.
Certificate-backed, tamper-proof audit trail.
Sustainable IT asset lifecycle solutions.
2. Degaussing and Destruction

Magnetic Erasure for Enhanced Data Security

Degaussing and destruction are among the most widely recognised methods of secure data disposal, valued for their effectiveness, speed, and ability to permanently destroy data across all types of hard drives and storage media. This process renders data completely unrecoverable and ensures devices cannot be reused.

Even non-functional hard drives still retain sensitive information and can pose a security risk if not properly degaussed prior to disposal.

Degaussing

Degaussing is an efficient and secure data destruction process that employs high-intensity magnetic fields to permanently erase data from magnetic storage media. It is specifically suited for devices such as hard drives, magnetic tapes, diskettes, floppy disks, cartridge tapes, and magnetic stripes on credit cards.

The process permanently disables the device and ensures all data is irrecoverable, even from non-functional drives that may still contain sensitive information. Using advanced degaussing equipment, we generate magnetic fields that completely neutralise stored data, protecting your organisation from data breaches and unauthorised access.

For audit and compliance verification, photo documentation is provided. Degaussing services are available both onsite and offsite, with the option of a live video session for remote observation and added assurance.

Key Benefits

Cost-Effective — Securely erases data, enabling media reuse and reducing costs and environmental waste.
Efficiency and Convenience — Quickly erases large volumes of data, ensuring fast, secure sanitisation.
Secure Data Erasure from Damaged Media — Reliably removes all data from damaged or unsalvageable magnetic media.
Compliant with International Standards — Meets global data destruction standards, ensuring complete, irreversible data erasure.

Destruction

We go beyond degaussing to guarantee the complete and secure disposal of sensitive information. Our service includes the physical destruction of storage media, eliminating any possibility of data recovery and ensuring your information is permanently removed.

Upon completion, we provide a Certificate of Degaussing and a Certificate of Assured Destruction, tailored to your organisation’s compliance and audit requirements. All activities are fully logged, maintaining transparency and security throughout the entire process.

Your devices will be destroyed in the most efficient way that fits your organisation needs, which may include but not limited to:

Shredding – Physically destroying hard drives into small fragments, ensuring data is completely unrecoverable.

Crushing – Applying extreme pressure with a steel punch to destroy hard drives, mobile phones, and laptops.

Grinding – Using industrial machinery to reduce items to fine particles, ensuring all data is unrecoverable.

3. Mobile Crushing

On-Site Data Destruction for Maximum Security

When data must be permanently destroyed beyond recovery, Crown Workspace Singapore offers a secure on-site solution through Mobile Crushing. This service ensures immediate, visible, and certified destruction of data-bearing devices directly at your premises.

Our mobile crushing process adheres to the highest security standards, delivering a fast, compliant, and fully secure method of physical data destruction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is mobile crushing in data destruction?

Mobile crushing is a secure, on-site method of physically destroying data-bearing devices such as hard drives, SSDs, and smartphones. A specialised machine crushes the device and bends or shatters the internal components, making data recovery impossible.

2. Is mobile crushing compliant with data protection regulations?

3. Is mobile crushing available as an on-site service?

4. Is degaussing required prior to the mobile crushing process?

5. Which device types are compatible with your mobile crushing service?

6. Is on-site witnessing of the destruction process permitted?

7. What happens to the waste after crushing?

8. How can we arrange for a mobile crushing appointment?
