Recall has announced the launch of a new secure data destruction service for digital media, Ensurepacs.

“What we have created is a self-service model, where companies or departments keep a supply of Ensurepac secure satchels on hand, filling them as needed with digital media, and then simply sealing them and calling us to collect for secure destruction of the contents,” said Mr Jose Da Silva, President, Recall Australia and New Zealand.

Ensurepacs are taken to a Recall Secure Destruction Centre by the company’s Data Protection Services drivers. At the Recall Secure Destruction Centre, the contents are rendered unusable and unrecognisable and, when the destruction is completed, a destruction confirmation certificate is sent to the customer.

Ensurepacs are available in two sizes accommodating between two and five kilograms of media. Media can include items such as discs and tapes, hard drives, transparencies and microfiche.

“We believe this will bring peace of mind to those in charge of data centres, IT departments and digital media libraries. Customers can now know that sensitive data will be securely destroyed, and that the Destruction Certificate will satisfy the requirements of any compliance audit,” said Mr Da Silva.

Recall's equipment, transport and destruction processes have been endorsed by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation's (ASIO) T4 Protective Security Accreditation.
