Why Software Wiping Is Insufficient: NDA, KVKK 6698, GDPR & ISO 15713 Physical Shredding
Standard formatting, partition deletion or software overwriting cannot guarantee data removal from damaged disk sectors (bad sectors) or wear-leveled NAND flash blocks on enterprise SSDs. Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK Articles 7 & 12), BDDK banking IT regulations, ISO/IEC 27001 and EU GDPR require irreversible physical destruction when data carriers reach end-of-life. At Katkısan Electronic Waste (İz Geri Dönüşüm ve Nakliyat Tic. Ltd. Şti. — Tax ID: 4831355596), we execute a legally binding mutual Corporate Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) prior to handover, physically shred every drive under KIOSCERT-accredited ISO 15713:2009 (DCMS-23-2310-İZD), and process all output fractions within our R12 licensed electronic waste (WEEE) recovery stream (Permit No: 1150345, Approval: 58003700-150/E.3166) and Zero Waste Certificate (TS/34/B3/16/831).
DIN 66399 & NIST SP 800-88 Physical Shredding Methodology & LME Metal Buyback
Our enterprise data destruction workflow adheres strictly to DIN 66399 (H-4/H-5 magnetic drive and E-3/E-4 solid-state NAND security levels), NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 ("Destroy" sanitization tier) and ISO 15713:2009 physical shredding protocols. Enterprise SAS/SATA HDDs, M.2/NVMe/PCIe SSDs, LTO/DLT magnetic backup cartridges and mobile devices are fed into high-torque industrial dual-shaft shredders, shearing magnetic platters and NAND chips into millimeter-sized fragments so forensic recovery is 100% impossible. Unlike third-party destruction brokers, Katkısan integrates enterprise data destruction in Istanbul with our corporate ITAD and server decommissioning program, refining shredded aluminum housings, neodymium magnets and gold/palladium controller PCBs in-house and crediting live LME metal value back to your enterprise.
Same-Day Marmara Sealed Dispatch, UATF Manifest & 81-Province Chain-of-Custody Logistics
Data security begins the moment storage media are scanned at your premises under a pre-signed NDA. Operating our own GPS-tracked, closed-box fleet licensed under MoTAT (ATA-34-290 / ATA-34-290/TA-01) and TSE ADR (ATK3423000945 / TSE-AKB04-00718 — Plate: 34 HER 112) from İkitelli Organized Industrial Zone (Dersan Industrial Estate), we provide same-day sealed pickup across Istanbul (Maslak, Levent, Ataşehir Finance Center, Ümraniye, İkitelli OIZ, Tuzla, Beylikdüzü), Kocaeli (Gebze GOSB, IT Valley, Dilovası), Tekirdağ (Çorlu, Çerkezköy), Bursa and Sakarya. For corporate headquarters, banks and data centers across all 81 provinces of Turkey, we execute scheduled shipments using tamper-evident locked containers, serialized Chain of Custody manifests, and ECBS/MoTAT National Waste Transport Form (UATF) mass-balance reporting.
Open Facility Policy, CISO-Witnessed Shredding & Serialized Certification
Under our corporate transparency commitment, your CISO, Information Security, Legal or Internal Audit representatives are welcome to witness the physical shredding live at our İkitelli OIZ R12 recovery and shredding plant (Dersan Sanayi Sitesi A Blok No:1/130, 34490 Başakşehir / Istanbul) or inspect the uninterrupted 24/7 HD CCTV video archive matched to your barcode/serial number inventory. Supporting GDPR and KVKK e-waste compliance for multinational branches alongside ISO 15713 certified commercial and customs product destruction, our Open Facility Policy accepts every scale of delivery with zero minimum unit threshold—from a single laptop SSD to thousands of data center SAS drives—complete with a serialized ISO 15713 Data Destruction Certificate.
