Questions from Fort Meade and Annapolis Junction
Can you meet NSA/CSS 9-12 at a contractor SCIF near Fort Meade?
Yes. NSA-listed equipment comes to your facility, your cleared personnel witness, and the process is the manual's: degauss then deform for magnetic media, 2 mm disintegration for solid-state, boards separated from hybrid drives.
How soon can you be in Fort Meade and Annapolis Junction?
Extended-range visits need additional lead time. Tell us your window and we will build a route around it, sooner if the truck is already headed your way.
Is there a minimum?
Yes. Extended-range visits carry a higher job minimum because of the travel. For a handful of drives, Shred by Mail is the better fit; for a large decommission, the truck is worth it.
What does it cost?
Every on-site job is quoted individually based on item count, media types, the standard you need, and travel. Here is what moves the number, or tell us what you have and we will send a custom quote.
Do you offer free pickup or free recycling in Fort Meade and Annapolis Junction?
No. Free recycling makes its money by reselling your hardware whole, online or overseas, which is exactly how retired drives end up in a breach. Our fee pays technicians to disassemble your equipment, inspect every part that could hold data, and destroy those parts on your site with a certificate. If nothing sensitive was ever on the equipment, free may be fine. If your data is regulated or classified, it is not. Why free is not free.
Do you handle classified media in Fort Meade and Annapolis Junction?
Yes. We are one of very few providers able to meet NSA/CSS 9-12 and DoDM 5205.07 destruction requirements on-site, with NSA-listed equipment and your cleared personnel supervising, under your security officer’s conditions.
Can our staff watch?
Yes, and we encourage it. Witnessed destruction is the point of bringing the truck to you.
What about paper records?
We do not shred paper. We concentrate on electronic media, and we can point you to a paper-shredding partner we trust.
