This transformative renewal ensures that sensitive information is thoroughly eliminated, reinforcing an unwavering commitment to data security. The name itself exudes trust, reliability, and assurance, symbolizing a standard of excellence in safeguarding data integrity. Phoenix Certified guarantees that every tape is not only securely erased but also meticulously tested and certified for dependable reuse, providing customers with peace of mind and sustainable, cost-effective solutions.
Phoenix Certified represents an exacting certification process where data tapes are subjected to rigorous, secure erasure and restoration, much like the legendary phoenix that rises from its own ashes.
In numerous cases, tape cartridges containing expired yet still confidential data are stored in unsecured environments. These cartridges may have been returned from off-site storage facilities or other locations and are frequently kept outside of a library until their subsequent use for archiving new data.
By erasing the data prior to storage, the risk of expired but sensitive information being inadvertently exposed or ending up in unintended and potentially undesirable locations is effectively mitigated.
Secure Your Data
Restore many types of media back to their original condition and improve recording performance.
Benefits of Data Erasure and Magnetic Degaussing
Security
A degaussed tape or hard drive, is completely void of any data, and degaussing renders almost all types of modern storage media completely unusable in the future.
Compliance
If you are bound by government or organizational regulations to destroy your storage media, degaussing is the cleanest and most versatile way to accomplish this.
Certainty
You can be 100% certain, that any storage device run through a degausser of sufficient field strength, has been completely eliminate of all viruses and/or corrupt data.
Restoration
Restore many types of media back to their original condition and improve recording performance.
Certification and Compliance
Reputable degaussing services ensure compliance with standards such as those set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Industrial Security Program (NISP), providing an audit-ready IT inventory list and a certificate of destruction.
Permanent Data Erasure
Permanent erasure goes beyond basic file deletion. Unlike degaussing and physical destruction, which leave the storage media unusable, data erasure removes all information while keeping the disk operable.
Magnetic Degaussing
Degaussing, popularly known as bulk erasing, permanently erases all data from magnetic storage media by deleting, formatting and controlling the information on the track. Hard drive degaussing exposes equipment to a powerful magnetic field to ensure removal of data from the media. This method is perfect for small and medium sized business that are looking for a budget friendly way to destroy old hard drives and media tapes.
Can be degaussed:
3480, 3490e, 4mm, 8mm, DLT, SDLT, video, and round reel tape can be degaussed.
Media is then tested / certified for re-package.
Cannot be degaussed:
Hard Drives, optical disks, 3592, T10K, LTO, 3590, 9840, 9940, and T-10000 cannot be degaussed.
Degaussing these media types destroys the servo track(s).
Certification requires data destruction using specialized equipment and/or overwrites.
