Retire hardware without retiring your secrets
Scalenta Datawipe
Retired laptops and drives are where data leaks happen quietly. Scalenta Datawipe handles end-of-life media properly: secure erasure where the hardware is reused, physical destruction where it is not — with documentation that records it.
Overview
A reformatted drive is not a wiped drive. Decommissioned IT spread across cupboards, dealers and recycling crates is one of the most common sources of data exposure — and the least dramatic, so it goes unnoticed.
We collect and process retired media through established destruction partners: erasure to recognised standards for reusable hardware, physical shredding for storage that will not be reused, with serial-level documentation for your records.
