DGD Technology is an industry-leading Irish company specialising in secure IT Asset disposal. We are dedicated to protecting your sensitive, confidential data, complying with industry regulations, and safeguarding your equipment through every step of the process.
Computers that store personal or business data are vulnerable to security breaches. If a computer contains sensitive personal or business data, it’s crucial to dispose of it properly. Many organisations in Ireland have outdated computer equipment that they no longer use. Even after data is erased or wiped from old devices, it may still be possible to recover sensitive information.
By implementing secure IT asset disposal and hard drive destruction, you can significantly increase your organisation’s data security. These measures are additional protection from potential data breaches.

Magnetic Media Destruction
Different types of data storage require specific methods of destruction. For magnetic media, like hard drives and tapes, the safest approach is specialised destruction. Microfilm, microfiche, and magnetic media need advanced processing to reduce them to tiny, unrecoverable pieces.
Our two-step process handles small items like phones, SIM cards, and USB drives, ensuring they meet the strictest shredding standards (Shred level H6 EN15713). Our entire facility is monitored by CCTV and open to inspection.
