Phone destruction prevents data misuse and is essential for GDPR-compliant IT disposal.
Destroying phones is important for businesses because devices often contain personal or business-sensitive data. Think of access to email accounts, saved passwords, customer data and confidential messages. Even old or broken phones can still contain valuable information that can be misused.
Without certified IT data destruction (company) phones, companies run the risk of data leaks, reputational damage and fines under the GDPR. Only professional destruction guarantees that data is truly irretrievably deleted and does not fall into the wrong hands.
Mobile phones can be destroyed in different ways, depending on the type of device and the desired level of security. The most common methods are:
When using a phone shredder, the device is shredded into small fragments. This physical destruction is done with an industrial data shredder that chops the device into small pieces, including memory and battery. Such a shredder machine is also suitable for, for example, destroy hard drives and other data carriers.
Wiping smartphones is done with special software programs. Software data erasure with certified tools such as Blancco is especially suitable for reuse or resale. All data from mobile phones is overwritten (erased) and the device itself remains intact. This gives mobile phones a new life and that makes wiping very environmentally friendly.
In some cases, old mobile phones are demagnetized to remove the data. This is the case, for example, with defective mobile phones or with very strict requirements. The devices are then dismantled in a controlled manner. This dismantling is the manual removal of components. It is a very labor-intensive method.
Destroying phones on location is ideal for organizations that want maximum control. There is no risk of data loss during transport, you see the destruction with your own eyes and receive the official certificate immediately. This method is fast, efficient and fully GDPR-proof.
