Tape Disposal

With Insurgo’s secure and sustainable destruction process, no trace of sensitive data remains. Our technology eliminates data vulnerabilities with precision and reliability.

Every tape is tracked with a unique three-point identifier, strengthening the chain of custody and surpassing industry requirements. This means our destruction certificates provide genuine accountability and value.

Legacy tape media disposal methods pose a significant security risk to your organisation

In the current security climate, shredding and degaussing are outdated and leave your organisation vulnerable. Neither can guarantee complete data erasure. As tape technology evolves and storage expands, these methods leave you exposed to increasing amounts of uncontrolled data and potential leaks.

Insurgo’s totally secure tape destruction removes these risks

As the trusted leader in secure tape destruction, we combine cutting-edge processes with an uncompromising focus on security. We protect your business, your reputation, and your customers.

Insurgo is the service provider that global organisations choose when safeguarding legacy data and removing all risk associated with tape media disposal. We are trusted by the best, recognised for our expertise, and committed to making tape disposal risk-free.

Tested, validated, proven, and trusted 

Our tape disposal technology has been independently tested and validated by leading universities, labs, and organisations.

Professor Andrew Blyth, Director of the Information Security Research Group at the University of South Wales, confirmed that tapes destroyed with Insurgo Technology withstand even the most advanced recovery attempts, including government-sponsored attacks with unlimited time and resources. In his tests, no data could be recovered from processed tapes. 

Independent testing by the National Physical Laboratory confirmed our patented erase head is non-wearing and delivers consistent, repeatable results every time.

Insurgo’s proven technology is trusted by global organisations in the highest-risk sectors.

How our secure Insurgo Technology process works

Intake and tracking

Each tape is logged into our system with a three-point identifier. This allows us to track it through every stage of disposal.

Tracked through process

Our patented process uses a powerful neodymium magnet to erase all data along the full tape length. We then overwrite the CM chip to remove any residual data that could be used against your business.

Validation and reporting

Once erased, tapes are dismantled and broken into component parts for recycling. This process produces 51% less CO₂ than shredding.

Prioritising security, protecting the environment, and ensuring affordability

Security First

We put security above everything else. Our disposal process is the most secure in the world. Every tape is tracked end to end, giving you complete peace of mind.

Revolutionising
Efficiency

Our process is 51% more efficient than shredding or incineration. We dismantle tapes into individual components and recycle them responsibly to minimise waste and conserve resources.

Affordable For Everyone

Security and sustainability should never come at an unmanageable cost. Our services are designed to be cost-effective and accessible for organisations of every size.
