Archive destruction

Secure archive destruction of files

The confidential destruction of archives, valuable documents and files is a speciality. With the emphasis on confidentiality. The files that are stored at Archive-IT and of which the retention period has expired over time, are – after a signed order from the client – confidentially destroyed. Do you have archives in your own organization that have expired? Or would you simply like to clean up the archive thoroughly and have the documents that are no longer needed destroyed? Just ‘throwing them away’ is not safe. Going through the shredder yourself is not very efficient and therefore very time-consuming. Archive-IT will be happy to take care of this archive destruction for you.

Are you unsure whether the retention periods for your documents have expired? Many different documents are subject to different retention obligations. Read more about them here. Are you in doubt? Or would you like to spar with one of our advisors about your archive? Feel free to contact us.

Archive destruction: Prevent data leaks, even physically!

Destroying archives goes beyond tearing up your paper. It must be destroyed under strict conditions and meet many requirements. In this way, you can be assured that your valuable information, which may be business critical or very sensitive to privacy, will never, ever be on the street. After the safe archive destruction, you will receive a certificate of destruction. This certificate lists all the files that we have destroyed for you. On this basis, you can prove that you have implemented the destruction policy as it applies to your organisation.

The destruction of the files includes the following activities:

  • Lifting files from the Archive-IT area
  • Transport of the files to the destruction plant
  • Unrecognizable and certified destruction of files
  • Preparation of the certificate of destruction, which will be made available through a portal
