Hard Drive Degaussers/Erasers

When disposing of computer hard drives, it is simply not enough to delete, reformat or overwrite the information. The only solution that guarantees 100% data erasure form hard drives is to use a degausser.

The process of degaussing is achieved by passing the hard drive, through a powerful magnetic field, which rearranges the metallic particles, completely removing any resemblance of the original data. Even if the hard drive is not working, the degaussing process can be used to ensure that data contained is removed completely and cannot be recovered.

Governments, organizations and the military are adopting standards for the effective disposal of hard drives, and all recommend that hard drives are sanitized with a degausser prior to their destruction. As the world's leading degausser manufacturer with 26 years experience, Verity Systems has a range of hard drive degaussers and can recommend the most effective product for your organization’s exact needs.

Why Degauss Hard Drives?

The vulnerability of information stored on PC hard disk drives has always been recognised as a security risk. Unlike other PC data storage media, the hard disk always stays with the PC. Every time a PC leaves a company’s control, all the data and company information will go with it. Think of all the information that could be on the PC’s hard drive: financial information, sales reports, client and personnel files and sensitive market and product information, in fact information that could be a security risk or commercially damaging if it got in to the wrong hands. And it’s not just PCs! Digital photocopiers and high-end laser printers also include a hard drive which can store and log all of your activity.

The only way to safeguard complete and permanent erasure is to use a degausser. Although in most cases this will render the hard drive inoperative, the cost of a replacement hard drive cannot be compared to the cost to a company if sensitive information can be read by a third party.

In addition, many industry standards and government regulations insist that hard drives are sanitized (erased) with a degausser prior to the physical destruction of the hard drive itself.
