At RedLibrary, we provide professional data wiping and secure disposal services tailored for individuals and small businesses. Whether it's an old hard drive, SSD, USB stick, or smartphone, we ensure complete and irreversible erasure using offline, standards-compliant methods — with visible, verifiable results.
All wiping is performed offline using certified tools that comply with DoD 5220.22-M (3-pass minimum) and other international standards. Devices are processed in isolated workstations, and all steps are recorded via CCTV for added trust. If a device cannot be securely wiped, it is physically destroyed, and a destruction confirmation is issued — at no extra cost.

Certificates are issued digitally or by post, and can be verified at any time through our website. We also log processing data using a secure internal system, ensuring full audit trail capability.

Formatting a drive or deleting files doesn't erase your data. Many devices — including USBs, phones, and SD cards — store recoverable data even after reset. Encryption isn't always enabled, and even encrypted drives can leak information via swap, logs, or recovery partitions. Our service ensures GDPR, ISO27001, and NCSC-aligned compliance — with evidence.
