Our Secure Data Destruction Process

Gilmore makes it easier for Panama City businesses to maintain control of sensitive information from collection through final destruction. Depending on the services selected, our process may include:

  1. Scheduling and planning: We learn about the type and quantity of media you need destroyed and arrange service around your organization’s needs.
  2. Secure collection: Trained team members collect the approved devices or media while following established security procedures.
  3. Inventory documentation: Individual hard-drive serial numbers can be recorded when required for your internal asset and compliance records.
  4. Physical destruction: Data-bearing media is physically destroyed by shredding so the information it contains cannot be accessed or reconstructed.
  5. Certificate of Destruction: After service, your organization receives an NAID Certified Certificate of Destruction confirming that the material was securely destroyed.
  6. Responsible recycling: Eligible materials are handled for recycling after the data has been securely destroyed.

Do you offer an information security guarantee?
All shredding companies should guarantee to keep your confidential documents secure from the time they receive them until the time your documents are destroyed. Yet few shredding companies offer any such guarantee. Gilmore provides an Information Security Guarantee to all of our customers.
