One line per drive
Austrian audits — Vienna banks, Land administrations, hospital groups — check line by line. A bulk certificate without serials does not close the DSG file.
RecyclicTech issues an erasure certificate per drive or serial. Method: NIST SP 800-88. The chain runs from the dock to processing in Rădăuți — declared.
Audit-ready, not brochure-ready

The itemised asset report sits in the same file. Internal audit wants the line, not the slogan.
