Software-based data wiping following NIST 800-88 standards typically costs $5-10 per drive. Physical shredding costs $8-15 per drive. On-site mobile shredding includes a visit fee of $150-500 plus per-drive charges. Certificates of destruction are usually included.

Question 3

Can ITAD save my company money?
