Certified Data Destruction: Eliminating Data Center Risk
Data Center Program Leader, Josh Humm, shares how certified data destruction protects your business from risk — building confidence through verifiable security, consistent standards, and total accountability.
When planning a data center transition, it’s easy to focus on logistics and timelines. But there’s one area where “good enough” simply isn’t: data security. A single missed drive or incomplete record can leave your organization exposed long after the project ends.
That’s why we treat data destruction as the foundation of trust. At Dynamic, security isn’t an extra step — it’s the thread that connects every part of the process. With the *Easy Button* approach, certified protection is built in from the very beginning.
Security isn’t a final step — it’s the thread that runs through every phase of the decommissioning process.
We also meet the industry’s leading data-specific requirements through NAID AAA and NIST standards for secure data destruction.
Our certified data destruction process includes:
• On-site HDD shredding and wiping for secure, immediate data elimination.
• Plant-based degaussing and data wiping/shredding for complete, verified destruction.
• Serialized asset tracking with white-glove packaging and logistics.
• Certificates of Data Destruction and Recycling provided for every asset, ensuring full compliance and audit readiness.
Data centers rarely operate in isolation. If your organization manages multiple sites, regions, or teams, maintaining consistency is key to minimizing risk. A single unified process ensures one standard of care across all locations and simplifies governance company-wide.
Our centralized reporting platform gives leadership teams a clear view of security performance — in one place, at any time.
