A serialized asset list is created and compared to the list provided by the data center. Drives are securely palletized and serialized pallet IDs are recorded. Each drive is logged by individual serial number from time of pickup and tracked as it works through the workflow. We offer onsite solutions for sensitive situations.

Our proprietary approach to data sanitization is both granular and comprehensive. System-level checks verify test/wipe results by individual drive before moving to the next workflow juncture. A final system level outbound audit is performed by individual drive prior to drives leaving a Horizon facility.

Drives that are not recoverable or are contractually required to be destroyed will be physically destroyed, rendering data unreadable. Our results meet or exceed all local, state, and federal environmental and data security requirements and standards.

All material processed by Horizon requires serialized test and wipe results. Upon final disposition, serialized certificates of data wipe and drive destruction are generated for all processed drives and other hardware that do not meet the requirements for reuse or are contractually required to be destroyed.

Our customers and suppliers expect nothing short of excellence. Our workflow is R2 and ISO-certified, ensuring industry and transaction compliance. Our wipe process meets NAID and NIST 800-88 data sanitization standards and is certified by the Asset Disposal & Information Security Alliance (ADISA).

Our workflow is a closed loop process that provides full traceability and uncompromising security, ending with a documented certification of data sanitization or destruction. Our finance-friendly solutions are customizable to your operational needs and workflows.

Our workflow has multiple system-level checks and balances, ensuring that a drive cannot leave a Horizon facility without being tested and wiped. The thoroughness of our verification process touches every aspect of your storage media, safeguarding your organization’s good name.

Our solutions are available for a wide range of electronic storage media, with complete HDD & SSD sector verification. We employ a multi-step process using our ADISA-certified wipe tool (both for HDD & SSD) followed by a scan of the drive to ensure it is free of data.
