Client-Witnessed Media Destruction
Retention schedules have an end date. Holding data past it is a liability, not caution — anything you still hold is anything you can still be compelled to produce.
Bring your retention schedule. We will tell you what it actually costs to meet it.

Why this matters
What it costs to do nothing
A destruction certificate from a vendor you did not watch is a piece of paper asserting something you cannot verify. Drives have been resold with data intact by vendors holding exactly that paperwork. If the destruction matters enough to certify, it matters enough to witness.
Why clients choose us for witnessed media destruction
- You can be present. That is the entire product — a certificate you watched being earned.
- Physical destruction, not a software wipe. A wipe is unverifiable from the outside.
- Destruction happens on site, so the media never leaves the chain of custody to be destroyed.
- The serial of every item destroyed is recorded against the certificate.
The practical answer
Scheduled in batches, usually against a retention review. Bring your schedule and we will identify what has aged out.
Common questions
- Do we have to attend?
- No, but the option is the point. Most clients attend the first one and then trust the process.
- What do we receive?
- A certificate listing every serial destroyed, the method, the date, and who witnessed it.
- Can you destroy paper too?
- Yes, alongside media, in the same witnessed batch.
