Degaussing
How Degaussing Systems Work
Degaussing systems use large electromagnets to render the hard drive completely useless. The disadvantage to degaussing is that once the hard drive has been degaussed; it can't be reused or resold. Liquid Technology incorporates degaussing upon request and as part of a more comprehensive solution coupling the degaussing service with data shredding and data erasure offerings.
Benefits of Degaussing
Degaussing permanently removes all sensitive data with secure data erasure (thereby eliminating security risks related to not removing data securely). Risks associated with information stored on hard drives are plentiful - the most common of which is identity theft. Personal information in the form of a credit card number, insurance identification number or medical records are greatly at risk. The same issues of privacy apply whether the personal information is stored on a single desktop or laptop, or if sensitive information is stored on hundreds or thousands of company or government computers, although the latter presents a different set of challenges. Now specific industries must comply with recently enacted federal laws requiring strict standards for handling, distributing and using confidential client, corporate or patient information. Protecting data and information is vital, now more than ever before.
