One system · Secure ITAD & data destruction

Data-bearing assets are the highest risk in any decommissioning.

Every retired drive, server or device carries data until it is destroyed. Paladin destroys it under NIST 800-88, on-site or off, and documents the result at serial level, before anything moves to recycling or recovery.

Step 02 of 05

in the Paladin One lifecycle

Two ways to destroy. One standard behind both.

Where destruction happens is a policy decision. What it has to prove afterwards is not, so the record is identical either way.

On-site 01

Destruction at your location

Mobile shredding and degaussing for assets that can never leave a controlled perimeter.

Off-site 02

Destruction at a certified facility

Chain-of-custody transport into a facility audited to the same standard everywhere Paladin operates.

Standard

NIST 800-88 methods

Clear, purge or destroy, matched to media type and your policy.

Clear

Logical sanitization for media that stays in service.

Purge

Degaussing and firmware-level erasure where reuse is the goal.

Destroy

Shredding to a defined particle size when the media cannot survive.

Proof

Serial-level certificates

Every asset destroyed is logged and certified individually, feeding the same chain-of-custody record as everything else in the system.
