TAPE DEGUASSING

Click for a PDF version

All businesses have occasion to discard confidential media. Every business is entrusted with information that must be kept private. Without the proper safeguards, information could end up in places where it is readily, and legally, available to anybody. The trash is considered by business espionage professionals as the single most available source of competitive and private information from the average business. Any organization that discards private and proprietary data without the benefit of proper destruction exposes itself to the risk, as well as the costly loss of business. At DataSafe, we are here to help you take your confidential media destruction to the next level.

Tape Degaussing, also known as bulk tape erasing, removes all data, formatting and control track information from tapes, hard drives and diskettes, leaving your media in the optimum condition for re-use or disposal. Degaussing of the media consists of passing the media through a strong alternating magnetic field. The alternating magnetic field removes all magnetic patterns from the tape, thus eliminating all data and formatting. The degaussing process ensures the user that their next recording will be at its best.
