Trusted with data
others can't afford to lose.
We help organisations manage, protect and prove the data their operations run on — with certified media services, the ASTRID range of field tools, monitoring and analytics, and field-service apps for Business Central. Everything we do leaves an evidence trail, so you can prove what happened, not just say it.
Why Hiscox Media
We saw a gap — and built to fill it.
Storage media is everywhere your operation runs: cameras, vehicles, machines, instruments. It carries data you can’t afford to leak, lose or get wrong — and yet it’s the part nobody really looks after.
Checking a card meant a lab or a leap of faith. Erasing it properly, and proving you had, was harder than it should be. The market is awash with counterfeits. And no one had joined up testing, wiping, certifying and monitoring into a single service you could trust.
So we built the tools, then the line, then the platform to close that gap. Today we help organisations manage, protect and prove their media with evidence — not trust.
Proof, not promises
Every card and drive leaves with a certificate and a chain of custody you can hand to an auditor, an insurer or a court.
We built the tools
Our ASTRID devices read a card’s true health and spot counterfeits on the spot. The same technology backs every service we run.
Secure by default
Chain-of-custody handling, erasure to recognised standards, and hardware hardened for the job — security is the starting point, not an add-on.
What we do
Five pillars, one job: your data, handled and proven
From the media itself to the tools, the monitoring and the back office — a joined-up portfolio built around managing and protecting data.
