Hard Drive Deguassing
Degaussing is the act of permanently erasing data from magnetic media such as Hard Drives, disks and tapes. Degaussing does not work on solid state media or drives.
The degaussing process creates a massive, controlled and targeted magnetic field that is applied to the subject data device, rendering the data completely scrambled and the device unusable.
​
For maximum destruction, both the degaussing and shredding process can be applied to the devices. The quality of the degaussing process is measured using the Tesla scale, or a gauss level. Today’s high capacity hard drives, server drives and the like require the highest level of destruction.

-
NSA certified devices meet the standards of national and international security agencies including the FBI, CIA, NATO and NASA.
Destruction
Data is erased using an industry leading degaussing device certified by the NSA (National Security Agency).
Compliance
Hard drive barcodes are scanned as units are degaussed. Client is provided with a list of serial numbers.
Certification
Along with the list of hard drive serial numbers, Client receives a Certification of Destruction confirming all units have been erased.
On-Site
Mobile degaussing unit can be used at any office, residential or warehouse location. Clients can witness every step of the degaussing process.
