Data and Document Disposal and Destruction

Secure, dependable and environmentally responsible...

Transmedia offers secure fully certified confidential file destruction, with prior shredding (medium security) to DIN3 Standard at our Swansea facility with subsequent recycling by a third party broker. This final destruction process completes the ‘chain of custody’ concept from initial collection using our own full security vetted staff to final destruction again using our own staff.

Transmedia can confirm that the final waste product conforms to the BSI standard BS8470 level 3. This standard defines that the final product does not have a surface area greater than 2500 mm².  The resultant waste paper product is subsequently recycled. Suitable for all confidential documents, a certificate of confidential destruction is issued, once the process is complete, all destruction is fully witnessed. 

We also provide digital data erasure - HMG Infosec Standard No. 5 (IS5) (Enhanced if required) as well as microfilm destruction and recycling.

Secure digital data erasure

Transmedia provides data erasure services for all digital file formats. All erasure is warranted in compliance with appropriate standards, and disposed of in accordance with HMG Infosec Standard No 5 (IS 5)

File systems containing a customer’s data are wiped three times, with every sector overwritten with one pass of randomly generated data. If required, we can adopt HMG IS5 Enhanced (equivalent to US DOD 5220.22-M): this entails every sector being over-written three times. Written confirmation that this procedure has been satisfactorily completed is supplied once the data is erased.
