The TIMG data destruction process step-by-step
Identify items for destruction
Understanding your legal obligations regarding data retention periods is crucial to your overall Information Management plan. TIMG can assist you with the identification, sorting and transport of digital media assets earmarked for secure destruction and recycling including data backup tapes, HDs, server racks, switches, routers and telephone systems.
Items collected by TIMG
Our security-vetted staff will collect and transport your digital media and decommissioned hardware to our facility for destruction. The transportation of all items/pieces in our custody is performed by TIMG staff in locked, alarmed and GPS tracked TIMG-owned vehicles.
Compulsory Cooling-Off Period
We have a compulsory cooling-off period once we take receipt of a client’s data and information marked for destruction. Only upon confirmation from the client, will we carry out the destruction process. By determining a proper cooling-off period, the client has the opportunity to double-check any decisions regarding the permanent destruction of their information and assets.

FAQs
Here are some frequently asked questions about TIMG Data Destruction Services.
No you don’t – we use industrial-grade shredders capable of destroying entire files, binders, dividers and other storage media including CD’s, DVDs, videos and microfilm. Simply dispose of your confidential material in our secure containers ‘as is’. We’ll take care of the rest.
e-Waste is defined as anything holding digital information/data – including, switches, servers, UPS’s, phone systems, medical equipment, and digital whiteboards. We can also look after the removal and destruction of printers, compactus and data racking. We partner with recycling companies that are e-stewards and are certified sustainable recyclers.
Electronic shredding is like paper shredding – an industrial shredder has the capability to shred computer hard drives, phones, tablets, USB’s and other devices into small pieces. The plastic and glass components are separated and repurposed in other products, and the metals are recovered and placed into a recycling scheme.
With every destruction job carried out by TIMG, there is oversight and process in place to ensure that the correct information and data is being destroyed. On completion of secure destruction, we issue a Certificate of Destruction as confirmation. This is a legally defensible document of proof of secure destruction.
In July 2006, Freightways Limited (FRE), our parent company based in New Zealand, acquired the Australian information management firm, DataBank Technologies Pty Ltd (DataBank).
Subsequently, within that year, a rebranding initiative was undertaken, and we were renamed as TIMG (The Information Management Group). It is worth noting that this transition was seamless for DataBank’s clientele, with no disruption to service operations, ensuring business continuity for all existing clients.
