CyberCrunch receives NAID AAA certification for SSD wiping

CyberCrunch, an international data destruction and electronics recycling firm based in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, has earned AAA certification from the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID), Phoenix, for solid-state device (SSD) wiping. According to a news release from CyberCrunch, the company is one of only about 30 companies nationally that have this verification of its SSD data destruction and information handling practices.

“By becoming NAID AAA certified, we can continue to demonstrate that complete data destruction is in CyberCrunch’s DNA,” says Serdar Bankaci, president of CyberCrunch. 

As part of the certification process, NAID audited CyberCrunch’s processes and procedures to ensure any sensitive data entrusted to CyberCrunch is handled in accordance with strict NAID guidelines. As part of the AAA certification, CyberCrunch submits to random audits and inspections of its facilities to ensure compliance, as well as forensic analysis of wiped media.

“CyberCrunch welcomes NAID’s random audits and forensic investigations of our destruction processes,” Bankaci says. “Due to the COVID-19 crisis, CyberCrunch sees many recyclers not keep up with changing technology. Solid-state drives and flash memory are the new normal. Customers require advanced hardware and software to ensure property destruction and verification.”
