Data elimniation from Magentic storage such as HDDs and Tape cartridges using Data Degausser

description

As part of Datalifecycle® approach, it is our responsibility that our customer data is effectively stored, protected, archived and finally ERASED on the Storage Media (magnetic disks and tapes) to ensure Information Security compliance. The permanent data deletion (erase) on HDDs and data Tapes by exposing them to high magnetic field strength without any physical damage to the same with 100% Guaranteed Data Sanitization is known as Degaussing and the device used are Degaussers.

Data elimniation from Magentic storage such

as HDDs and Tape cartridges

using Data Degausser

What Does Degauss Mean?

Computer hard drives use magnetic fields to store data on special discs

called platters.

Degaussing is the elimination of a magnetic field.

A Degausser of the appropriate strength will eliminate the magnetic

fields on the hard drive platters eliminating all data.

Before Degaussing

Why Degauss? Computer hard discs are made to be robust storage systems

Permanent removing data from a hard drive can be very difficult as it

was designed to have many methods of retrieval

Anyone can send a drive to a recovery company and have the data

retrieved from it.

Manufacturers of hard drives engineer retrieval methods in to the

design

Common FAQ

How such a large magnetic strength is generated at less time? Is permanent magnet is used?

The Powerful Electro-magnets are used to generate and focus high magnetic filed strength on

the media exposing chamber inside the Data Degausser.

Is there any outward radiation from the system? Will that be a health hazard to operator?

The system is certified for minimum magnetic radiation. The measured radiation is 0.004% of

the threshold limit of magnetic radiation at which human body can be effected. It is very safe.

Operator can use the system in 8 hours shift without concern.

Why the storage media (HDDs and Tapes) post Degaussing render useless?

Post degaussing the intelligence on the disk controller (PCB with an EPROM) is got erased due

to magnetic exposure. Thus HDD can't be reused. In the case of Tape cartridges the servo-

track on the length of the tape is erased post degaussing thus the LTO tape can't be reused.

Why to Degauss? Can we physically destroy the Storage Media and dispose off?

The degaussing will not dent the media. Thus post degaussing much of the metallic and plastic

parts can be extracted for recycle there by reduce the volume of e-waste for landfill. This is an

environmental friendly e-disposal method.

If we can dis-assemble before disposal, then why to Degauss?

The process of disposal is outsourced to professionals in e-waste management. Thus before one

hand over the storage media to these service providers, degaussing will only ensure data erase

and become Information security compliance.

Is there any mandatory compliance of Degaussing process by Govt of India?

Presently No. The Authorities such as RBI, IRDA etc needs to decide on this. However, there are

global standards of data disposal confirming Degaussing process. But is is the responsibility of

every one to secure their data and ensure it should not reach the wrong persons.
