GDPR-proof IT disposition
Under the GDPR, personal data on a retired computer remains the data controller's responsibility — even after the computer has left the building. If that drive resurfaces with readable data, the problem is yours.
Vikast closes that risk: certified wiping of every drive, complete documentation, a fully tracked chain of custody.
The compliance package
- Certified data wipe on every HDD/SSD with software compliant with European standards
- Erasure certificate for each individual device, serial number included
- Reports and audit trail ready for your DPO, internal audits and supervisory authorities
- Documented physical destruction for drives that cannot be wiped
Why DIY isn't enough
Formatting doesn't erase data: it hides it. An employee 'clearing out' the PCs before disposal produces no documentary evidence — and in the event of an inspection or a data breach, without documents the company's position is weak.
A professional process produces proof: standardized procedures, multiple verifications, certificates. It's the difference between 'we erased it' and 'we can prove it'.
Frequently asked questions
Is the certificate valid in the event of an inspection?
The certificate documents the wipe carried out with procedures compliant with European standards: it's the documentary evidence the data controller must be able to produce. Your DPO will thank you.
Do you also handle small numbers of devices?
Yes: compliance doesn't depend on volume. We handle everything from a single server to a full rollout.
