On Site Degaussing

Using our Verity Systems SV91m NATO Approved deguasser we will erase the media.

Benefits of Using a Degausser

Assurance that all sensitive data has been erased permanently
Disposes classified media quickly, safely and in-house
Meets the NSA and CESG requirements for sanitisation of classified information

Simply overwriting magnetic media does not completely erase data. Only a degausser can remove data 100% and ensure that confidential data is securely and completely erased.

On Site Puncture of Disk Platters

For very small quantities of HDD's and the cheapest option rather than bringing our shredder to site with a 2 person team would be to degauss and puncture the hard disk drive platters with our Baileigh 3 Ton Arbor Press, custom modified by Secure Transportation Ltd with a 2.5 inch hardened steel spike. Disk drives could then be securely transported to warehouse where they will be shredded and a proof of destruction certificate issued

Hard Disk Drive With Hole Through The Disk Platters

Portable Mobile On Site Solution

Our 2 stage on site process involves the degaussing and puncturing of the hard disk drive platters which will ensure irreversible data recovery. Although the disk drives are rendered useless we will still securely transport them under sealed conditions to our facility where they will be shredded and a certificate of destruction issued. Equipment is finally disposed of under Secure Transportation’s waste carriers license in accordance with the WEEE directive.
