Secure Data Destruction Services
Protect sensitive data with BoxQ’s secure data destruction services. Certified, compliant, and trusted by businesses across New England.
Why Secure Data Destruction Matters
When IT equipment is improperly disposed of, the risk of a data breach increases significantly. Secure data destruction is more than just a best practice—it’s a legal and compliance requirement in industries like healthcare, finance, and government. Regulatory frameworks like HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA mandate that organizations destroy sensitive data beyond recovery to avoid potential liabilities.
Servicing Businesses & Homes in the Greater Boston MA areas, and throughout Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, and the surrounding New England areas.
Beyond security, we focus on sustainable IT asset disposal by recycling electronic devices responsibly. Our process ensures that all components are either securely destroyed or repurposed, keeping e-waste out of landfills while protecting your data.
Our Trusted Partnership with Colt Recycling
To ensure certified, secure, and environmentally responsible recycling, BoxQ partners with Colt Recycling—a nationally recognized facility holding certifications in R2v3, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018.
While BoxQ handles all logistics, secure pickups, and data destruction processes, Colt Recycling manages the final stages of material processing, ensuring that all electronics are responsibly dismantled and recycled according to strict industry standards.
This partnership guarantees our clients a fully certified end-to-end solution that protects both sensitive data and the environment.
Securely Destroy your Data
Simply hitting the “delete” button does not remove personal and sensitive data from your hard drive. Neither will taking a sledge hammer to it. Data can still be recovered from hard drives even after you attempt to destroy it. Your undestroyed and highly sensitive data could lead to calamity for both a consumer and, most certainly, for a business. To prevent this, our professional staff adheres to strict protocols and utilizes a state-of-the-art hard drive shredder, ensuring complete and secure data destruction.
Securely destroying your sensitive data is not a cost; it is an investment in your future.
Our Certified Destruction Process
Our secure data destruction process is built around transparency, compliance, and reliability from start to finish.
Pickup & Chain of Custody
From the moment your retired equipment is picked up, BoxQ maintains a documented chain of custody to ensure that your data remains secure every step of the way. Our trained drivers use locked, GPS-tracked vehicles and tamper-proof containers to transport your materials, keeping your sensitive information protected until final destruction.
Physical Shredding & Data Wiping
All equipment undergoes NIST-compliant data wiping or physical shredding, depending on your specific security requirements. Devices like hard drives, SSDs, backup tapes, and mobile phones are either securely wiped or destroyed using industrial-grade shredders to eliminate the possibility of data recovery.
Certificate of Destruction Issued
After destruction is complete, you’ll receive a Certificate of Destruction for your records. This document provides detailed proof of compliance and includes serial numbers of destroyed assets. It can be used for audits, legal protection, and internal recordkeeping.
