Data Destruction AuditorIntroducing a revolutionary NEW data protection system
Provides auditable evidence of media erasure and hard drive destruction
Why Use Hard Drive Degaussers?
Hard drives are robust storage mediums. Nowadays, anyone can send a drive to a data recovery company to retrieve the vast majority of ‘deleted’ data. Furthermore many manufacturers are now engineering hard drives to include data retrieval processes.
To remove data from a hard drive to the point where the previous data is entirely unrecoverable, only by degaussing a hard drive will it be sufficient. Degaussers erase data by randomizing the magnetic charge of a hard drive using a powerful magnetic field. This field completely destroys any resemblance of previously recorded data.
Degaussing is a permanent method of data erasure, and the most widely recognized high-security method of disposal. You cannot use a hard drive after it’s been degaussed. This is because degaussing will also destroy the start-up program hard-coded into the hard drive, known as firmware. For more information, see our introduction to degaussers.
Government Approved Degaussers
The NSA, DOD and the UK National Cyber Security Centre, NCSC (Formally CESG) only approve degausser equipment that can ensure total data erasure of highly sensitive, classified material. These degaussers are rigorously evaluated before they are able to meet government performance requirements.
Generally, degausser strength is rated by a magnetic property called “gauss” or “coercivity”. Our SDD Master triple pulse degausser is rated at 20,000 gauss – generating the strongest erasure field of any degausser on the market.
Any organization involved in managing critical, confidential information, such as financial, medical, military or legal information must take great care in how they deal with the erasure of such data. In many of these cases, the use of an approved degausser is highly recommended.
