Sims Lifecycle Services (SLS) has responded to our clients’ growing need for secure on-site data destruction by increasing our fleet of on-site shred vehicles in Europe. It is now even easier to bring our world-renowned ITAD global services directly to your company. These new vehicles are yet another example of SLS’ increased commitment to providing our customers with industry best-in-class services compliant with your local laws, regulations and company policies.

Our new vehicles allow the flexibility to customize on-site shredding to your specific needs. SLS offers on-site shredding of multiple types of data carriers in the same vehicle, at your location, making it easy for you to witness your devices being destroyed. Our fleet also includes smaller shredding vans, making it easier for clients with tight space considerations to take advantage of this service.

Scheduling and reserving this service is quick and convenient and our onboarding process is straightforward and efficient.  With defined processes and robust project management, we make it as easy as possible for you to compliantly shred your end-of-life assets with the absolute minimal disruption to your live work environment. Our experience and commitment to complete data destruction ensures that we provide the right tool for the job.

Media that can be shredded includes magnetic hard disk drives (HDDs), solid state drives (SSDs), back up tapes, CDs, DVDs, mobile phones, floppy disks and portable storage devices. Our revamped fleet provides our clients with increased flexibility to choose the right shred size options for your specific security needs, from 30mm down to the National Security Agency (NSA) standard of 2mm. This ensures that all data on your storage devices is irretrievably destroyed in accordance with your company’s data privacy policy.

We are also adapting to the changing landscape of data storage devices and the rise of new technology, including gaming, cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT). Our capabilities continue to expand so that we are able to keep up with all technology trends and enhance our already comprehensive services as a single-source supplier of your ITAD needs.

Our vehicles provide assurance that assets and data are disposed of compliant with GDPR legislation in a consistent, repeatable and predictable manner. SLS backs all services with a fully auditable chain of custody and access to all documentation 24 hours a day. We are accredited to ISO14001, ISO9001, ISO45001 and ISO27001 and our vehicle operators are cleared to the highest standards.

The shredded media will be sustainably repurposed as our investment in advanced recycling equipment enables us to separate the shredded material into cleanly separated commodity streams which is more environmentally friendly and makes it easier to reuse recycled storage media in producing next generation products.

This investment in new on-site shred vehicles highlights SLS’ commitment to not only customer satisfaction and compliance, but to continuous improvement. As more clients are requiring that data is destroyed while data bearing assets are still in their custody, we are listening and responding. The ever-evolving relationship between SLS and our clients drives us to adapt to all industry trends and demands.

SLS operates globally and can support your data destruction needs worldwide.
