Stop your company’s sensitive data from falling into the wrong hands by degaussing your unwanted computer hard drives and media tapes.

If your company stores personal or financial data on a PC hard drive, server or backup tapes, you run the risk of the information falling into the wrong hands should you decide to upgrade your computers or clear out unwanted tapes. If you do not have a secure system in place, you could be breaching Data Protection laws.

What is hard drive degaussing?
Degaussing is the only way to guarantee that no usable data remains on hard drives or other magnetic media.

Our process of media tape and hard drive degaussing consists of passing the media through a powerful magnetic field. This rearranges the metallic particles, rendering any data completely unusable and unrecoverable. Even if a hard drive is not working, data could still be recovered from it. Degaussing removes this possibility completely.

Shredall have invested in a NATO approved degausser. We now comply with all relevant industry safety standards in both the UK and US. Our degausser is UK Government approved, and meets the standards of both the US National Security Agency and Department of Defense.
