Degaussing & Destruction Service
Degaussing & destruction
Degaussing & destruction is one of the most widely used and well-known methods of secure data destruction due to its efficacy, speed, and its ability to destroy all types of hard drives as well as other types of storage media consistently. This renders the data unrecoverable and permanently destroyed. The items will not be able to be re-used again.
It is important to know that hard drives that don’t work still contain their information and might put your company at risk if they are not degaussed before disposal.
How it works
Degaussing
The degaussing technique relies on permanent & complete demagnetising of the magnetic storage media to destroy the stored information in devices such as laptop, diskettes, reels, cassettes and cartridge tapes. Data will be erased when exposed to the powerful magnetic fields of a degausser.
When degausser is applied to magnetic domains the information is scrambled into random patterns, making the data stored in the magnetic domain unreadable and the degaussed media not reusable. The correct use of an appropriate degausser will ensure that information is no longer retrievable.
Destruction
Your devices will be destroyed in the most efficient way that fits your organisation needs, which may include but not be limited to:
Shredding
Physically slicing the hard drives into tiny fragments, making data irretrievable
Crushing
Destroying hard drives, phones and laptops under extreme pressure with a steel punch
Grinding
Using a machine that grinds items to dust, ensuring any data on them is unrecoverable
Once the data in your IT assets are completely destroyed, a comprehensive, digitally-signed and tamper-proof Certificate of Erasure will be generated. It is customisable according to your organisation’s compliance and auditing needs. All activities are logged, ensuring absolute transparency and gapless security before and during the auditing process. Each report includes a digital signature for maximum security and to avoid tampering.
Key Benefits of Degaussing
Cost-effective
Degaussing offers a cost-effective solution for securely disposing of magnetic storage media. Degaussing allows organisations to reuse or recycle the media after data erasure, reducing the need for new storage devices and minimising environmental impact
Efficiency and convenience
Degaussing is a quick and efficient method of data destruction, allowing organisations to securely erase large volumes of data in a relatively short amount of time.
Secure data erasure solution from damaged media
Degaussing serves as a reliable solution for securely erasing data from damaged media that cannot be effectively sanitised through traditional methods like overwriting. Degaussing erases all data stored on the storage media by utilising the powerful magnetic field, regardless of its condition.
