Secure data destruction for retired devices and storage media.
Data Sanitization helps organizations ensure sensitive data does not remain on retired devices through a secure, documented, and auditable destruction process.
ABOUT DATA SANITATION
Erase is not enough — sanitize.
Standard deletion (Delete, Format, factory reset) only removes the pointer to data — the physical bits remain on disk and can be recovered with commercial recovery tools. Indonesian regulators know this. UU PDP Article 44 mandates "pemusnahan" (destruction), not just deletion, when personal data is decommissioned. POJK 11/2022 includes "penghentian dan penghapusan sumber daya teknologi informasi" as a regulated phase of IT lifecycle. Permenkes 24/2022 requires hospitals to destroy electronic medical records after the 25-year retention window — using methods that guarantee non-recoverability.
Data Sanitization is the secure and permanent removal of sensitive data from storage media (HDD, SSD, tape, USB) so that no residual data can be recovered — even through laboratory-grade forensic analysis. The internationally recognized standard is NIST SP 800-88, with three categories: Clear (overwrite), Purge (advanced overwrite, cryptographic erase, or degaussing), and Destroy (physical destruction). ISO/IEC 27001 Annex A 7.14 and 8.10 provide the audit framework.
DTI delivers data sanitization as a chain-of-custody service: degaussing for magnetic media, physical destruction (shredding, crushing) for SSDs, and certified destruction reports (Berita Acara Pemusnahan) — the artifact your auditors and regulators ask for. We pick up media on-site, sanitize in our certified facility, and return signed destruction certificates per serial number.
SANITATION METHODS
Three methods. One chain of custody.
Data Sanitization helps select the right method for each medium—from overwrite and degaussing to physical destruction—with auditable evidence.
Magnetic field erasure
Strong magnetic field exposure that disrupts magnetic alignment on HDDs and magnetic tapes. NIST "Purge" tier. Disk becomes unusable; data unrecoverable.
- For HDDs, magnetic tapes, LTO cartridges
- On-site mobile unit or DTI facility
- Coercivity tested per manufacturer spec
Shred & crush
Industrial shredding to NIST/NSA particle size for HDDs and SSDs. Solid-state media requires shredding (degaussing does not affect SSD flash cells).
- For HDDs, SSDs, M.2 NVMe
- NSA/CSS-aligned particle size
- CCTV-witnessed destruction
Encryption key destruction
For self-encrypting drives (SED) and cloud volumes — destroying the encryption key renders ciphertext unrecoverable. NIST "Purge" tier when properly implemented.
- For SEDs, encrypted SSDs, cloud volumes
- Faster than overwrite at scale
- Audit log of key destruction
Secure pickup & transport
Sealed-container collection from your data center or office. GPS-tracked vehicle transport. Tamper-evident packaging. Two-person rule for sensitive cargo.
- Sealed containers, tamper-evident
- GPS-tracked transport
- Two-person rule for sensitive media
Berita Acara Pemusnahan
Signed destruction certificate per serial number — the artifact your auditors and UU PDP regulators require. Includes method, witness, date, and disposal manifest.
- Per-serial-number certification
- Auditor-ready (POJK, UU PDP, Permenkes)
- Digital + physical signed copies
Regulatory alignment
Process mapped to UU PDP Articles 43-45, POJK 11/2022 IT lifecycle, Permenkes 24/2022 RME destruction, Peraturan BSSN 8/2020, plus international standards NIST SP 800-88 and ISO/IEC 27001 Annex A 7.14 + 8.10.
- UU PDP Art. 44 compliant
- POJK 11/2022 lifecycle phase
- Permenkes 24/2022 25-year window
