Certified Data Destruction for Secure, Compliant Infrastructure Lifecycle Management

Protect critical data and reduce risk with globally consistent, standards-based data destruction solutions designed for modern data center, cloud, and enterprise environments.

Security-First Data Erasure Built for Today’s Digital Infrastructure

Protect critical data and reduce risk with security-first, standards-aligned data destruction for modern data center, cloud, and enterprise environments. In an era of distributed data, AI workloads, and increasing regulation, leaving data to chance is not an option.

Celestica delivers engineered sanitization and destruction services that eliminate data risk while preserving asset value and supporting sustainable lifecycle outcomes.

A Proven, Standards-Aligned Data Destruction Process

Celestica follows a structured, auditable approach to data destruction, ensuring every asset is securely handled, fully sanitized, and documented in alignment with global compliance and security requirements.

Certified Data Erasure

Celestica embeds data sanitization into the decommissioning process by using erasure capabilities, including EcoErase™, that are built to meet globally recognized standards such as NIST and US DoD guidelines. These processes deliver consistent, verifiable sanitization across HDDs and SSDs, ensuring that data is thoroughly removed while preserving the underlying hardware where appropriate.

Proprietary, policy-driven workflows can be scaled to match your environment, from hyperscale data centers to distributed edge locations, so erasure is applied in a controlled, repeatable way. This enables organizations to eliminate data risk, support safe reuse and remarketing of assets, and maintain strict compliance across diverse IT landscapes.

Physical Media Destruction

When media cannot be reused or when policy dictates physical destruction, Celestica applies methods designed to permanently render data inaccessible. High-energy degaussing completely disrupts the magnetic field on applicable media, effectively erasing stored information and making the device inoperable.

For drives and other data-bearing components, high-pressure shredding and pulverization services are available either at Celestica facilities or onsite, depending on security and regulatory requirements. These options are suitable for highly sensitive workloads and help organizations meet the most stringent security and compliance expectations.

Verifiable Chain-of-Custody & Secure Handling

From initial collection through final erasure or destruction, Celestica maintains secure handling protocols that govern how assets are packaged, transported, stored, and processed. Each handoff and status change is logged, creating a continuous, verifiable chain of custody that shows exactly where assets have been and who has interacted with them.

This disciplined control framework reduces the risk of loss, tampering, or misrouting across complex IT environments. By engineering security into every step rather than treating it as a final checkpoint, Celestica helps organizations demonstrate that data-bearing assets have been managed in accordance with internal policies and external regulations.

Compliance Reporting & Sustainability Certification

At the end of the process, Celestica issues detailed certificates of data destruction that document which assets were sanitized or destroyed, when, where, and by what method. These records provide clear, defensible proof to regulators, auditors, customers, and internal stakeholders that data-handling obligations have been met.

For assets routed into recycling streams, Celestica also reports on material recovery and environmental impact reduction, such as volumes diverted from landfill or associated emissions avoided. This provides organizations with traceable metrics to support ESG reporting, sustainability targets, and broader corporate responsibility initiatives.

Advanced Data Erasure Engineered for Secure, Scalable Infrastructure

Built to meet globally recognized standards, including those established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the US Department of Defense, Celestica’s data erasure capabilities, including EcoErase™, deliver consistent, verifiable data sanitization across hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs).

Designed for integration across complex IT environments, our approach combines automation, validation, and scalability to support evolving data security requirements, from enterprise deployments to hyperscale data centers.

Whether executed within Celestica’s global operations or deployed on-site, our standardized, policy-driven erasure processes ensure precise, repeatable outcomes, aligning data security with your broader infrastructure, compliance, and lifecycle objectives.
