Data Security: How We Handle Security for Sensitive Data

Tri-Star Recycling’s data security services include data sanitization and destruction with R2 certification.

Our data security services are backed by the highest of industry standards, such as our R2 certification. All data-contained devices receive a CoD (Certificate of Destruction) that certifies the data has been eradicated or destroyed, according to client specifications. In fact, Tri-Star Recycling is the only Nashville-based, R2-certified e-recycling company in this industry. We serve even those industries with the strictest standards for data security.

Data Destruction Methods

We apply several types of data destruction to our clients’ inventory. These include:

• Single pass zero wipe: For some industries, the required technique for secure data overwrite is with pseudorandom data in one single pass. In most cases, a single overwrite of data will make it sufficiently unusable.
• 3-pass zero wipe: In a 3-pass system each over-writing pass employs a different technique. In the first pass, the data is written over with 1s. In the second pass, that same data is overwritten again, though this time with zeros. And in a third pass, everything is once again overwritten with pseudorandom data.
• 7-pass zero wipe: This wiping technique follows the 3-pass zero wipe followed by another 4 passes that again overwrite with pseudorandom data.
