We follow this standard here Active KillDisk DoD Hard Drive Shredding Is a process to which data on a hard drive is re-written entirely over all addressable locations with random character, 7 Times. (5220.220M, US DoD 5220.22-M (ECE)) Data Wipe as prescribed by NAID More info in our PDF DOCUMENT HERE on how this process works. When exposed to the powerful magnetic field of a degausser, the magnetic data on a tape or hard disk is neutralized, or erased. Meaning the Data is still retrievable using special software or hardware, EVEN AFTER a format and reinstall of the OS.Īs you can tell this is a very unsecure way of protecting your data as you would be run the risk of the sensitive data not being overwritten by usage alone.ĭegaussing is the process of reducing or eliminating an unwanted magnetic field (or data) stored on a tape and disk media such as computer and laptop hard drives, diskettes, reels, cassettes and cartridge tapes. This doesn’t actually “erase” data, it only allows the data to be ignored by the OS/System and overwritten when the space is needed. Standard formatting is the process of ONLY deleting the partition table ( indexes to data clusters)
