When comparing Manhattan data-destruction providers, ask for evidence of the proposed process rather than relying on an unverified ranking.
Define the destruction service before collection
A useful data-destruction plan starts with the media you hold, the information it contains and the records your organization requires. These details are more actionable than broad claims that an unspecified technique is always secure.
Identify the devices and confirm which are authorized for destruction. Keep any records subject to retention requirements out of the disposal workflow until the responsible team has approved the next step. Assign one person to reconcile the equipment list and another authorized contact for collection arrangements.
Ask the provider to explain the proposed method for the actual media. Hard drives, solid-state storage, phones and tape media should not be treated as interchangeable. Avoid do-it-yourself instructions that promise a universal result from overwriting, magnets or physical damage.
ProTek describes both facility-based and on-site physical shredding options for data-containing devices. Its published service process includes pricing and a contract, direct handling by its crews and a certificate with a serialized device list. Confirm the method, location and documentation for your specific order.
At completion, compare the documentation with the approved equipment inventory. Keep a record of exceptions and ask for clarification where an identifier or device is missing. Your organization remains responsible for deciding how the service fits its own retention, security and recordkeeping requirements.
