Secure Data Erasure & Magnetic Degaussing Services

When it’s time to retire your data storage devices, proper data erasure isn’t just recommended—it’s essential. At DES Technologies, we offer comprehensive data erasure and magnetic degaussing services to ensure your sensitive information is permanently removed and your organization remains compliant with industry regulations.

What is Data Erasure?

Data erasure—also known as data wiping or data clearing—is a secure method of overwriting every sector of a storage device with binary code (zeros and ones). This process renders all stored information completely unrecoverable while preserving the usability of the device. Unlike physical destruction or degaussing, data erasure allows your drives to be safely reused or resold.

Our certified data erasure services ensure that your IT assets meet the highest standards of digital sanitation, including compliance with NIST 800-88 and DoD 5220.22-M protocols.

Magnetic Degaussing for Data Destruction

Magnetic degaussing uses high-intensity magnetic fields to neutralize the data stored on magnetic media. This method is highly effective for organizations looking to quickly and permanently destroy data on tapes and select hard drives.

Unlike data erasure, degaussing renders the storage media unusable. This is an ideal solution for end-of-life assets that will not be reused or resold.
