Product Information
Generating one of the strongest magnetic fields of any degausser on the market, the SDD Master’s unique triple erase process, ensures complete data erasure every time. Where security is of the utmost importance, the Verity Systems SDD Master is suitable for the very highest level of data erasure.
The SDD Master degausser is also shipped with our unique Data Destruction Auditor which enables you to document and verify your hard drive sanitisation/erasure and create data protection audit-ready reports. The SDD Master is a self-calibrating degausser providing the user with assured erasure time after time.
Our unit is listed in the NSA/CSS evaluated product list and accepted by the UK National Cyber Security Centre (Formally CESG) as meeting the highest level degaussing standard.

Easy Operation
The SDD Master is a fully automatic degausser. Lift the perspex lid, insert the media into the caddie, close the lid and press the ‘Start’ button on the control panel. Media is transported into the degausser where the magnetic field is activated by a powerful pulse discharge. While inside the degausser, media is automatically rotated and a further two magnetic discharges are applied, ensuring complete erasure. The entire process takes approximately 75 seconds.
The processor controlled SDD Master continuously monitors the operation ensuring that the erasure cycle is completed. The operator is immediately alerted to any interruptions in the erasure cycle on the LCD control panel.
Data Destruction Auditor: The SDD Master’s unique Data Destruction Auditor records all essential information of the degaussing/sanitisation process. Reports can be generated detailing key information such as media serial numbers, degauss force, date and time of erasure and operator details and used as evidence of degaussing. The Data Destruction Auditor provides a complete sanitisation/erasure audit trail. This unit comes fitted with Data Destruction Auditor as standard. Click here for more information.
Options
Barcode Scanner: The barcode scanner accessory allows you to scan the serial and part numbers from media, enabling you to speed up the data entry process.
Label Printer: The Label printer accessory automatically prints labels that can be stuck on the processed media giving details and confirming secure erasure.
Verity Systems DD Imager: Our media scanner seamlessly integrates with the Data Destruction Auditing software, facilitating the capture of high-definition images of media both before and after the erasure process. Click here for the Verity Systems DD Imager Datasheet.
Transportation Case: An optional heavy-duty transportation case with wheels is available for the SDD Master, enabling you to safely transfer your degausser by road or air, ideal if you have a requirement to erase media at multiple locations. Click here for more information.

We are so confident in our product build quality that whether you opt for an extended warranty or not, our factory-based technical support team are available for free phone and email support. This support extends for the entire lifetime of ownership.
Compliance
The SDD Master is accepted by the UK National Cyber Security Centre (Formally CESG) as meeting the highest level degaussing standard and is also listed in the NSA/CSS Evaluated Product List and.
The UK Government Cyber Security Centre (Formally CESG) accepts that products on the NSA Degausser Evaluated Product List as meeting the highest level degaussing standard (TOP SECRET). Security of data is also a legal requirement under the UK’s Data Protection Act 1998 and the European Data Protection Directive 1995.
NSA: The NSA is an agency of the US government which is responsible for protecting U.S. government communications and information systems. The NSA publishes guidance on the sanitisation (erasure), declassification, and release of storage devices for disposal or recycling in the “NSA CSS Policy Manual 9-12, NSA/CSS Storage Device Declassification Policy Manual”. Within this, the NSA publishes the EPL-Degausser (Evaluated Products List – Degausser) which specifies the current degaussers that have been evaluated against and found to satisfy the requirements for erasure of magnetic storage devices that retain sensitive or classified data. The SDD Master has been tested and evaluated by the NSA.
Many government agencies are required to manage their data security to detailed government specifications which would require them to buy an approved degausser. Safe and secure data disposal is critical within the military which is why the Department of Defense (DOD) also adheres to the guidelines outlined in the NSA CSS Policy Manual 9-12 for the destruction of classified material. In addition, if an organisation is involved in managing highly sensitive or confidential information such as financial, medical, education, personal and legal information, they must be vigilant in how they deal with the disposal of such information and the use of an approved degausser would be highly recommended.
The SDD Master also complies with the following government mandates that require destruction of sensitive information stored on hard drives and backup tapes before their disposal:
- PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry) Data Security Standard
- GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
- PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act)
- NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Guidelines for Media Sanitization NIST.SP.800-88r1
- NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Guidelines for Media Sanitization NIST SP 800-36
- Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA)
- HIPAA (Health Information Portability and Accountability Act)
- California SB-1386
- IRS-1075
- CJIS
- Bank Secrecy Act (BSA)
Safe and Secure
With safety in mind and to meet the latest ICNIRP Magnetic Exposure Guidelines, the SDD Master’s field discharge duration is less than a second and the magnetic field is designed to be concentrated inside the chamber.
