We use industry-leading tools and processes, including:

​

✔ Government-approved degausser

• Permanently destroys magnetic media data

• Full audit log with time, date, serial number, and operator details

• A printed destruction report is provided

​

✔ Certified SSD & device erasure

Using Parted Magic and other certified erasure tools:

• Full erasure certificate for each device

• SMART data included

• Pass/fail status

• Ideal for SSDs, NVMe, encrypted devices, and all modern storage

​

✔ Optional physical destruction (shredding/crushing)

Offered for clients requiring additional assurance after digital destruction.

All data destruction services form part of our certified ITAD UK process.

Every collection and data destruction job is documented with:

​

• IT Asset Agreement (pre-signed before collection)

• Make, model & serial numbers of all items

• Chain-of-custody records

• Waste Transfer Note

• Hazardous Waste Note (if applicable)

• Certificate of Data Destruction (standard or high-level depending on service)

​

This complete audit trail supports UK GDPR compliance and meets or exceeds ADISA-aligned IT asset disposal standards.

• Collections performed only by Bioteknik staff, never third-party couriers

• Unmarked vehicles for discretion

• CCTV-covered loading bay

• Items are transported directly to our secure facility

• No overnight storage in vehicles

• Driver logs all items on pickup to prevent discrepancies

​​

This satisfies chain-of-custody requirements equivalent to ADISA’s secure transport standards.

​

All IT asset collections form part of our secure ITAD UK chain-of-custody process, ensuring full compliance with UK GDPR and environmental regulations.

Our secure Canterbury facility includes:

• 24/7 monitored alarm system

• Full site CCTV coverage

• Restricted access to the data destruction area

• Secure warehouse with no public access

• Items destroyed within 1–24 hours of arrival (depending on service level)

​​

These controls mirror the security requirements commonly assessed in ADISA audits.

Our controlled facility supports secure IT asset disposal and certified data destruction services for businesses across the UK.

Our processes are designed around:

​

• UK GDPR

• Data Protection Act 2018

• ICO guidance

• WEEE regulations

• Hazardous waste handling requirements

​

All clients receive clear documentation ensuring full GDPR compliance without needing third-party certification.

​

Our ITAD UK services are fully aligned with UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and WEEE regulations, ensuring audit-ready documentation for every project.

Many organisations assume ADISA certification is mandatory — but in reality:

​

• Most UK councils, solicitors, architects, SMEs, and IT teams do not require ADISA.

• What matters is professional, verifiable, documented processes — which we already provide.

• Clients receive the same level of data security and traceability expected from ADISA-certified companies, without unnecessary cost.

​​

We work with:

• Multiple local councils

• Large architectural practices

• Solicitors

• Healthcare providers

• Manufacturing companies

• Corporate offices

• Education providers

​

These clients trust our processes because they are equivalent in security and documentation, even without ADISA.

Our processes are designed to meet or exceed industry-recognised IT asset disposal and data destruction standards, providing equivalent levels of security and traceability.

While some providers invest heavily in annual certification fees, we prioritise investment in advanced data destruction equipment, secure facilities and operational security — delivering enterprise-level ITAD protection without unnecessary overhead.
Instead of passing this cost on to customers, we invest directly into:

​

• Better data destruction equipment

• More secure processes

• Faster turnaround

• Environmentally responsible recycling

• Free standard data destruction for most customers

​

This allows us to maintain high standards at a fair price, benefiting both our clients and the environment
