What We Do
Degaussing is a separate process from the computer system. It is a process that utilizes a machine (degausser) to produce a strong electromagnetic field that destroys magnetically recorded data on a magnetic media. (E.g. hard disk and tape media...) Why do we use it?

Data Destruction Services: When data delection is not enough
Writing by Pierre Dorion
What you will learn in this tip: when files, backup copies or data archives are deleted, they are not really gone for good and data may still be accessed. This tip provides information on data destruction services and data destruction technologies.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why the need to ensure that electronic data in storage media are securely erased and destroyed?
A: By simply discarding obsolete or damaged storage media, traces of sensitive information are being left behind and can be recovered easily. This compromises the security of the confidential data.
Q: Why isnt smashing or drilling holes on storage media a secured means of destruction?
A: Data can still be recovered by a process known as MFM (Magnetic Force Microscopy)
Q: How then to ensure that data are erased securely?
A: Degaussing – Using secure data destruction equipment to permanently eliminate data from magnetic media. Shredding – Using secure data destruction equipment to completely pulverize and reduce the media to dust. Disintegration – Using secure data destruction equipment to destroy bulk materials into particles that cannot be reconstructed.
Q: What needs to be sanitised?
A:
• CDs and DVDs
• Hard Drives
• All forms of Magnetic Media
• Optical and Flash Drives
