Data wiping for dental and medical practices
Practice computers hold patient records, X-ray images and referral letters. We wipe them on site, so patient data never leaves the practice, and every drive gets a certificate.
Patient data is special category data
Health information is special category data under UK GDPR, which means it needs extra protection, including when equipment is retired. Reception PCs, surgery laptops and imaging workstations can all hold years of patient information.
What we wipe in a practice
- Reception and surgery PCs
- Imaging and X-ray workstations, once the images are safely migrated
- Laptops used for notes, rotas and correspondence
- External drives and USB sticks used for backups
- Copiers and scanners with internal storage, where the model allows
No disruption to clinics
We work around your appointment book, before opening, at lunch or after the last patient. Devices are wiped in a back office and never leave the practice.
Proof for your records
You get a certificate for every drive, with the device, serial number, method, verification result and date, ready to file with your information governance records.
Areas we cover
Edinburgh, Midlothian, East Lothian and West Lothian, with travel included.
