Retired healthcare IT carries some of the most sensitive data in existence. We destroy it to the same standards used by government, with a full chain of custody and the documentation your Information Governance team needs — free of charge.
What healthcare providers get as standard.
A decommissioned workstation in a GP surgery or a trust's old servers can hold patient records — special-category data under UK GDPR, and among the most sensitive information any organisation handles. The bar for disposing of it is rightly high.
We work with trusts, GP practices, dental and care providers to destroy that data to government standards, with a documented chain of custody from the moment we collect to the moment it's gone. Everything is designed to slot into the evidence your Information Governance and Caldicott obligations require.
Patient data changes everything. Here's how we meet the standard healthcare demands.
Special-category patient data is destroyed beyond recovery using government-grade methods, helping you uphold confidentiality and your duty of care to patients.
Equipment is tracked from the point of collection through to destruction, giving your Information Governance team a clear, auditable record of where every device went.
Drives are wiped to NSA/CSS 130-2, DoD 5220.22-M and HMG IS5, or physically shredded — the same benchmarks trusted in highly regulated environments.
You receive a Certificate of Data Destruction and waste transfer note — the documented assurance your governance leads need to evidence compliant disposal.
The process is identical for every client — what changes is how we tailor it around your needs.

Patient data was our only concern, and they took it as seriously as we do — tracked from collection to destruction, with a serial-numbered certificate our IG lead signed off without question.
