Provider Desk Service Overview

Secure & Sustainable Hard Drive Disposal

ISC's Provider Desk provides equipment to facilitate the secure and environmentally sustainable disposal of computer hard drives. LSPs can schedule time to make use of a degausser and hard drive "crusher" to dispose of hard drives with the confidence that any data previously stored on them is no longer retrievable.

The recommended approach is to first expose the hard drive to the degausser, which makes the hard drive completely unusable while damaging its storage system. The hard drive crusher is then used to break and mangle the drive, rendering itcompletely unrecoverable.

Drive remains can be placed in recycling bins located adjacent to the equipment and are recycled by Elemental.

These services are provided to the community free of charge. LSPs can reserve time with the equipment by contacting Provider Desk. LSPs interested in using the service should review the HD Disposal FAQ prior to making an appointment.
