How It Works

A Simple, Secure, and Reliable Process

Step 1

Authenticate

Drive cannot be inserted until user is authenticated by one of the methods below.

  • PIN – User assigned pin number via web backend.
  • RFID – Card based pin, can be assigned based on facility or other access credentials.
  • Credit/Debit Card – Tap to Pay. (Retail)
Step 2

Insert

Load your drive directly into the ShredBox unit for immediate destruction.

  • Whether it’s a hard drive, SSD, or other storage device, ShredBox is built to handle all types of drives seamlessly.
  • The process begins instantly, ensuring minimal delay while prioritizing data protection from the moment the drive is inserted.
  • The machine locks securely, allowing only authorized personnel to access the contents inside.
Step 3

Capture

ShredBox is equipped with image capture and AI technology.

  • Image is taken of the drive.
  • System recognizes drive and processes image with AI.
  • Drive size and type is determined to set crushing mechanism accordingly.
  • The image, Make, Model, and Serial Number is displayed for verification.
  • User confirms and starts the destruction process.
Step 4

Crush

ShredBox uses image data to set the parameters for crushing.

  • The machine uses high-powered crushing technology that instantly deforms, shatters, and eliminates the physical integrity of the drive.
  • This ensures that data is unrecoverable, meeting stringent compliance and security standards.
  • Drive is dropped into secure storage bin.
Step 5

Secure Storage

Crushed drives are stored safely within the ShredBox until scheduled servicing. Certificates of Destruction are accessible immediately after destruction via QR code. 

  • Our built-in storage compartment offers secure containment, protecting destroyed drives until they are collected by certified recyclers.
  • On-site storage minimizes risks and logistical challenges, keeping drives intact within the machine until proper disposal takes place.
  • This step ensures your facility’s operations remain compliant and secure while maintaining operational efficiency.
Step 6

Certified Disposal

Drives are collected and responsibly recycled by certified professionals. Certificates of Destruction are accessible immediately after destruction via QR code. 

  • ShredBox partners with certified recyclers who adhere to strict environmental and data protection standards.
  • Our certified partners guarantee that all destroyed drives are processed in an environmentally responsible manner, minimizing waste and reducing ecological impact.
