Can my data be securely erased without destroying the media itself?
It depends on the sensitivity of your data. Please see the three levels of data destruction below.
Level I Data Destruction
Level I (reuse allowed)
- Appropriate for individual or business. Data Destruction Certificate provided at no charge
- Degauss allowable media types before testing and certification
- Reformat and single pass format of functional servo storage media and hard drives. Non-functional media will be degaussed (de-magnetized) and recycled
- This is a green, eco-friendly solution
Level II Data Destruction
Level II (reuse allowed)
- Appropriate for business and individuals desiring a higher level of security. Data Destruction Certificate provided at no charge
- Compliant for mid-range data sensitivity. Covers many regulatory compliance issues and un-classified data.
- Degauss allowable media types before testing and certification
- Reformat and multiple-pass format of functional servo storage media and hard drives. Non-functional media will be degaussed (de-magnetized) and recycled
- Low level DoD compliant – 7 pass wipe
- This is a green, eco-friendly solution
Level III Data Destruction
Level III – Full Data Eradication and Media Destruction and Disposal (not for reuse)
- Appropriate for organizations interested in the ultimate data destruction solution
- Compliant with all standards and regulations
- Full degaussing and physical destruction of storage media and hard drives
- This solution is not as eco-friendly as other solutions – some parts may be recycled – but some may end up in a landfill
