Data Destruction Services in Dubai
Agreed sanitization or physical destruction of storage media
Data destruction is the controlled treatment of storage media so information on retired devices is not left readable. MAH Recycling offers NIST SP 800-88 aligned data sanitization and physical destruction of media, chosen according to the device and your instructions.
The service is used on its own for drives and devices you already hold, or as part of IT asset disposition when a wider lot is collected from your site.
Who this service is for
Teams that cannot release laptops, servers, drives or backup media until they have a record of how data was treated.
- IT and security teams retiring user devices or servers
- Compliance teams that need destruction records for internal files
- Facilities teams holding stored drives after an office move
- Operators replacing storage arrays or backup systems
Media and devices we handle
Process
Confirm the method
Wiping, physical destruction, or a mix. The choice depends on whether the host device will be reused and on your policy.
Collection or on-site work
Media can be collected with other IT assets, or data destruction can be arranged on site when media must not leave readable.
Sanitization or destruction
Technicians follow the agreed method. Physical destruction is used when wiping is not suitable or not requested.
Records
Inventory and applicable certificates can be issued after the work is completed.
Data destruction options
We do not treat a factory reset or deleting files as data destruction.
- NIST SP 800-88 aligned data sanitization processes for media that will be reused
- Physical destruction of hard drives and other storage media
- On-site destruction where you need media treated before it leaves the building
Deliverables
- Agreed sanitization or physical destruction method
- Handling of listed media and devices
- Chain of custody from collection or on-site attendance

Reporting
Reports can list the media processed and the method used. Serial numbers can be recorded when they are available on the asset or drive. Where destroyed media moves on for material recovery, that is handled under our ISO 14001 environmental management system.
Certificates
Certificates of data destruction can be provided for assets processed through this service. They are issued for work that has actually been carried out.
