ORIX Eco Services Corporation announced on April 20, 2020 that it will start on-site consignment service for data destruction of storage devices using special vehicles.
In this service, a crusher is mounted on a special vehicle developed by the company, and data destruction of a storage device is carried out by going to a designated place.
The service is started in the metropolitan area with the industrial waste collection and transportation permit, and the object area is planned to be expanded in future.
This special rolling stock is equipped with a shredder capable of crushing SSDs, which are difficult to be magnetically destroyed, besides a magnetic breaker and a physical breaker for HDDs.
In addition, as monitoring cameras that can confirm the state of data destruction in real time are also installed, it is also possible to confirm the movements of workers.
Until now, the company has provided a service for collectively performing data destruction at the company’s facilities when it is contracted to collect information devices such as personal computers and servers that are no longer needed.
Recently, in response to the growing social need for the proper processing of storage devices in local governments and companies that possess highly confidential information such as personal information, the company says it will establish a system that can realize “physical or magnetic disruption” and “disruption work” of storage devices on site.
