Challenge

Efficient, in-house data destruction that reduced staff workloads and maintained data security.

“Data Safe Solutions didn’t just clear our IT backlog—they gave us the confidence to donate our equipment to local good causes knowing the data had been completely vaporized. Their on-site training and high-speed processing equipped our team with the tools and knowledge needed to maintain compliance, security, and efficiency. We’d recommend their support to any organization transitioning to internal data destruction.”

The Challenge

This financial services firm sought to bring secure data destruction in-house. To achieve this, the firm purchased a DSS Mobile unit and began preparing its internal IT staff to handle on-site data erasure. However, before fully taking control of the process, the firm faced several challenges:

Staff training to effectively use the DSS Mobile system.
A backlog of several hundred PCs and laptops that needed processing before the equipment could be donated.
The need to ensure absolute data security before releasing devices to local charities.

This global financial services firm needed a more efficient approach—one that would eliminate staff bottlenecks, ensure absolute data security, and enable them to confidently repurpose IT assets for charitable donations.

The Solution

To ensure a smooth transition and meet their donation goals, the firm partnered with Data Safe Solutions Ltd. Our team provided:

Comprehensive On-Site Training: We travelled to their office to deliver hands-on DSS Mobile training, ensuring the IT team could manage ongoing data
High-Speed Backlog Clearing: Using Smart Wipe technology, our experts processed hundreds of PCs and laptops in just one day.
Certified Data Destruction: We provided immediate certified proof of data destruction for every device, allowing the firm to confidently donate them without any data security concerns.
