Aquest IT uses a technique to permanently delete data from hard drives in a permanent and non-recoverable manner.

Normally when you delete data or format a drive, the data is not completely removed. Instead the space the data occupied is marked as available. It is often possible for the data to be recovered without your approval. If your disk contains or contained client records, banking information, passwords, or other sensitive, then our drive cleaning method should be used prior to throwing away, giving away, or donating your hard drive. This service is also recommended for USB flash drives if they contained confidential information.

Our method meets the following standards and uses the following algorithms for data cleaning:
