Secure Data Handling & Certified Data Destruction

Data security is not optional during data center decommissioning. One overlooked device can expose sensitive business data, intellectual property, or regulated information.

DES Technologies implements strict data protection protocols that align with recognized industry standards. All data-bearing assets are handled using secure chain-of-custody procedures and are either wiped, sanitized, or physically destroyed based on your organization’s compliance requirements.

You receive:

Secure data sanitization or physical destruction services
Serialized asset tracking and documentation
Certificates of Data Destruction
Audit-ready reporting for internal and regulatory requirements

Our processes are built to protect your organization long after the data center powers down.

Experience Across All Data Center Environments

No two data centers are alike. Our team has hands-on experience decommissioning a wide range of environments, including:

Enterprise and corporate data centers
Colocation facilities
Dedicated and shared hosting environments
Edge and regional data centers
Live and partially operational facilities

Whether your project involves a single room or multiple facilities across different locations, DES Technologies scales to meet your needs—both domestically and internationally.

Secure Logistics & Chain of Custody

Once equipment leaves your data center floor, security remains critical. All removed assets are logged, sealed, and transported using controlled logistics procedures.

Key protections include:

Asset verification at removal
Secure containment and sealing
GPS-monitored transport vehicles
Controlled intake at processing facilities

These safeguards ensure that your assets are protected from unauthorized access, loss, or tampering at every stage.

Audit-Ready Reporting & Project Transparency

Clear documentation matters. Upon completion of your data center decommissioning project, DES Technologies delivers a comprehensive, auditable report detailing:

Removed equipment lists
Data sanitization or destruction outcomes
Chain-of-custody records
Final disposition of assets

This documentation supports internal audits, regulatory compliance, and executive reporting with confidence and clarity.

Responsible Asset Recovery & Recycling

When possible, usable equipment is evaluated for secure resale or reuse. Assets that do not meet reuse standards are responsibly recycled following environmental best practices.

This approach helps organizations:

Reduce e-waste
Recover residual asset value
Support sustainability and ESG initiatives
Ensure environmentally responsible disposal

Our commitment to accountability extends beyond security to long-term environmental responsibility.
