When an IT device reaches the end of its lifecycle, many organizations assume that the most difficult part is already over. The equipment is no longer in use, the data has supposedly been deleted, and the device can be recycled, resold, or disposed of. But deleting data is not necessarily the same as destroying it securely. For businesses handling customer information, employee records, financial data, intellectual property, or other confidential information, secure data destruction should be treated as an integral part of IT asset lifecycle management - not as an afterthought. Despite growing awareness of data security, several misconceptions continue...

We recently had the pleasure of hosting around 40 young participants of the Poland. Business Adventure programme, organised by the Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH) in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They came from different parts of the world, have Polish roots, and are currently gaining professional experience through internships in companies across Poland. During their visit, we showed them a little bit of our world - Polish technology, innovation and what it really looks like to build and grow a business here. There were plenty of questions, conversations and curiosity, which made the meeting much more...

It was great to welcome journalists from France to ProDevice and give them a closer look at what we are building here in Poland. The French market is an important direction for ProDevice, particularly in the defence and security sector. Earlier this year, we had the opportunity to present our solutions at Eurosatory in Paris, and this visit was another valuable possibility to continue that conversation - this time by inviting the media to our headquarters. During the visit, we showed our R&D center, presented selected ProDevice products and solutions, and talked about our capabilities and experience in projects for...

We are getting closer to opening our new production hall - and preparations are already well underway. This week, our engineers are taking part in hands-on training on the new machinery that will soon become part of our R&D and production capabilities. For us, investing in new technology is not only about acquiring new equipment. It is also about making sure our people have the knowledge and skills to use it effectively. The new machines will give us more possibilities in product development and manufacturing, increase our production capacity and help us work more efficiently. Combined with the experience and...

At ProDevice, data security is not only about destroying data when it reaches the end of its lifecycle. Before that happens, data media often need to be stored, handled and transported safely and this is where our ProDevice USC (Universal Storage Cases) come in. Available in four sizes (Small, Medium, Large and XLarge) , the USC range can be adapted to different types and quantities of data media, including HDDs, SSDs and magnetic tapes. Depending on the model and media type, a single case can hold up to 120 2.5" HDDs or SSDs. The cases are designed to protect media...

Data destruction When we think about data protection, we usually think about preventing unauthorised access. Firewalls, encryption, passwords and access controls are all designed to keep sensitive information safe. But what happens when that information is no longer needed? When data is no longer needed Data can remain on a device long after it has stopped being useful to an organisation. Old hard drives, SSDs, USB drives and other storage media may still contain confidential business information. Simply deleting files or formatting a device does not always guarantee that the data is permanently gone. This becomes particularly important when equipment...

Secure data erasure does not have to mean physically destroying the storage media. ProDevice DWS (Data Wipe System) enables the permanent removal of information through controlled overwriting, allowing wiped storage media to remain fully functional and ready for reuse. The solution is ideal for a range of scenarios, including decommissioning IT equipment, reselling or returning leased devices, sending equipment for servicing, or preparing storage media for recycling. It helps reduce the risks associated with data remaining on used storage media while supporting the reuse of functional equipment and optimizing IT costs. ProDevice DWS is available through several usage options –...

Imagine finding a confidential paper document in a recycling bin. Most people would immediately recognize it as a serious security issue. Now imagine an old hard drive being discarded without securely destroying the data stored on it. Surprisingly, the second scenario happens far more often. Paper destruction has become standard practice For decades, organizations have developed good habits around paper documents. Confidential records are shredded before disposal because everyone understands the risk of sensitive information falling into the wrong hands. It has become part of everyday business operations and, in many cases, a requirement defined by internal policies. Digital media...

Fourteen years ago, we started with a clear vision: to develop technologies that would redefine secure data destruction and help organizations protect their most valuable asset - information. Our journey began with the ASM120 hasztag#degausser and the development of our innovative PPMS technology. From those first steps, we have continuously invested in what matters most: innovation, engineering, and people. Today, ProDevice is no longer just a manufacturer of data destruction equipment. Over the past 14 years, we have: Established our own R&D center and in-house manufacturing capabilities. Developed proprietary technologies for secure data destruction and data lifecycle management. Secured international...

Many people believe that formatting a hard drive permanently destroys all stored data. In reality, this is one of the most common misconceptions about information security. If a storage device contains confidential or sensitive information, it is essential to usea method that guarantees irreversible data destruction. This is particularly important for businesses, public institutions, financial organizations, and healthcare organizations, where information security is critical. What happens when a hars drive is formatted? Many users assume that formatting a hard drive completely removes all stored data. However, this assumption is incorrect and can have serious consequences, especially for organizations that process...
