// SERVICE · DATA DESTRUCTION

Data destruction -
All from one hand.

The volume of stored data is growing rapidly worldwide - and so are the security requirements. All the way to destruction. We work in a GDPR- and BSI-compliant manner according to DIN 66399 - right at your site.

The amount of stored data is growing at breathtaking speed worldwide. At the same time and for good reason, requirements for data security keep rising - all the way to destruction.

That's why, when it comes to data destruction, we naturally operate in a GDPR- and BSI-compliant manner and according to DIN 66399. This standard categorises your storage media by type and security level.

The highlight: destruction in a high-performance shredder on board one of our vehicles - right at your site. The resulting material particles can be recycled and used as a secondary raw material.

"
Nothing stays readable. Everything becomes verifiable. That's how straightforward data destruction can be.

// STANDARD · ISO/IEC 21964 (equivalent to DIN 66399)

Protection classes & security levels.

ISO/IEC 21964 (which replaced the German DIN 66399 and is identical in content) classifies your storage media by protection requirement, media type and the required security level. We recommend the right combination and document it in the destruction certificate.

// PROTECTION CLASS 1

Normal Protection Requirement

For internal data. Unauthorised disclosure would have limited negative impact on the company — e.g. internal work instructions, forms, catalogues.

// PROTECTION CLASS 2

High Protection Requirement

For confidential data. Unauthorised disclosure would have significant consequences — e.g. quotes, orders with personal data, HR records, balance sheets.

// PROTECTION CLASS 3

Very High Protection Requirement

For highly confidential and secret data. Disclosure could threaten the organisation's existence — medical records, engineering drawings, strategies, R&D documents.

// MEDIA CATEGORIES

Six categories — every data carrier maps to one letter.

// SECURITY LEVELS 1–7 PER MEDIA TYPE

The higher the level, the smaller the particles — and the less can be reconstructed. The overview below shows the required particle sizes for each media type, from level 1 (general) to level 7 (top secret). Datalog delivers all seven levels.
