Data removal: peace of mind and reliability
Organisations use huge amounts of IT equipment. This IT equipment is regularly scrapped, sold or reused. Before reusing or selling your IT equipment, you need to make sure all of your data has been properly deleted.
The certified wiping of data and confidential company information from your equipment is not enough in itself. For auditing purposes, you also need proof that the data has been correctly deleted. This applies not only to the hardware that is reused or sold but also to hardware that can no longer be used. Furthermore, if hardware can no longer be used, you are required to submit an environmental statement.
NEG takes care of the whole proces:
- Safe data removal, including data removal certificate
- Controlled process in compliance with IT security regulations
- Detailed reports
- At the NEG service centre or on your premises
- Eco-friendly disposal of old hardware
Data removal in our service centre or at your premises
Using a controlled operational process, NEG ensures 100% secure destruction of all company data stored on the data carriers of the equipment concerned (servers, laptops, notebooks, desktops or separately delivered hard drives). We can delete your company data either at our service centre in Nieuwegein (the most economical option) or on your premises.
With on-site deletion of data, our specialists will come to you and remove all data from your data-carrying hardware using Blancco’s globally-certified data removal software. If you choose to have your data removed at NEG’s site, our specialists will collect the equipment from your premises and take it to our secure service centre in Nieuwegein.
Options after data removal
- Put the hardware back to use in your organisation
- Sell the old hardware to NEG
- Donate the residual value of old hardware to the ITdonations Foundation
- Environmentally responsible disposal in compliance with WEEELABEX
- Destruction of data carriers using our shredder
Data removal using Blancco data wiping software
Blancco, accredited by organisations such as the General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD), is special software that ensures the 100% secure and permanent removal of data stored on data carriers in computers, smartphones, servers, storage systems, etc.
Blancco uses state-of-the-art removal techniques. For each data carrier, you will receive a detailed report/data removal certificate, which is your guarantee that the data has been correctly deleted.
To reuse or destroy data carriers?
After data removal using Blancco, the hard drives are still intact and reusable. You can also opt to have these data carriers destroyed by us.
We carry out our data removal services not only on desktops, laptops, notebooks, smartphones and tablets but also on servers and storage area networks (SAN).
After data removal using Blancco software certified by the AIVD and other organisations, we can also take care of the installation or reinstallation of your software image, for example, when IT equipment is reused.

NEG helps you decide whether the investment is worth it and whether better/more sustainable options are available. New or refurbished. It’s not just the price; the service, reachability and goodwill factor are also reasons for choosing NEG. They always score very well in all these areas.
So we can definitely recommend NEG, as we can ask them anything.

We received the thin clients ready for use, with all the right settings, conveniently repackaged and coded. Even when circumstances meant Parnassia ordered late, the process was scaled up when necessary to speed things up and meet deadlines.
