Secure Hard Drive Destruction Services in Eastern Washington
Secure Hard Drive Destruction Services
Don’t just delete — destroy. When it comes to protecting sensitive data, secure hard drive destruction is the only truly reliable solution.
At CI Information Management, we offer NAID AAA Certified hard drive destruction services trusted by businesses, healthcare providers, financial institutions, and government agencies across Eastern Washington. With both on-site and off-site options, our process is built for convenience, compliance, and total peace of mind.
Why Digital Data Needs Physical Destruction
Most people assume that wiping a hard drive erases its data. In reality, residual files often remain recoverable — even after formatting or degaussing.
This puts organizations at risk of:
- Identity theft and fraud
- Data privacy violations
- Regulatory penalties (HIPAA, FACTA, GLBA)
- Reputational damage
The only irrefutable method of data disposal is physical destruction, and that’s exactly what we deliver.
“No matter how securely you think you’ve wiped your drive, it’s not truly gone until it’s physically destroyed.” — CI Hard Drive Destruction Specialist
Our Hard Drive Destruction Services
We tailor our secure destruction process to fit your business needs.
On-Site Hard Drive Destruction
Want to witness the process yourself? We’ll bring our mobile shredding truck directly to your location. You can watch as your drives are destroyed before they ever leave your premises.
Off-Site Hard Drive Destruction
Prefer a scheduled pickup or bulk purge? Our secure team collects your devices and transports them under GPS-tracked chain-of-custody protocols to our monitored destruction facility.
In both cases, you receive a Certificate of Destruction, giving you documented proof for audits, compliance reports, and peace of mind.
What We Destroy — And Why It Matters
Hard drives aren’t the only data-bearing media that need secure disposal. We destroy a wide range of devices that can store confidential information:
- Traditional hard disk drives (HDDs)
- Solid-state drives (SSDs)
- Backup tapes
- Flash drives / USB sticks
- External storage devices
- Laptops and desktops
- CDs, DVDs, and other optical media
Every device is shredded or crushed, not wiped or stockpiled — and then responsibly recycled.

- Strict hiring protocols and employee background checks
- GPS-tracked vehicles and secured containers
- Documented chain-of-custody procedures
Our clients trust us to handle their data with the highest level of integrity — and that’s exactly what we deliver.
