HARD DRIVE DESTRUCTION SERVICE
Andy Jassey, Amazon CEO, once stated that if any piece of media containing personal customer data got out into the wild, it could possibly be an extinction-level event for that company.
The reputation damage is incalculable, not to mention the hefty fines from the FTC (ex: Morgan Stanley $35m for mishandling drives with sensitive data).
THE RISK OF NOT PRIORITIZING DATA DESTRUCTION
With forensic capabilities being more advanced and the technology readily available, simply wiping or formatting is not enough to properly sanitize sensitive information or destroy a hard drive, protecting it from malicious data recovery. Widely used global business standards stem from the United States NSA and can be found in their NSA/CSS Policy manual 9-12.
2 WAYS TO EFFECTIVELY DESTROY
HARD DRIVE DATA
the 2 ways are Degaussing and Punching, and Disintegration
DEGAUSSING AND PUNCHING
DISINTEGRATION
DEGAUSSING AND
PUNCHING HARD DRIVES
First, we degauss hard drives using an electrical device or permanent magnet assembly that generates a coercive magnetic force in order to wipe or degauss magnetic storage devices and other magnetic materials. Note that hybrid drives manufactured after 2013 may require the media platter to be removed from the outer casing to properly degauss a drive.
From there, the platter is physically deformed through punching, destroying the hard drive.
OUR POWERFUL PARTNERSHIP
Phiston Technologies is a leading scientific research, development, engineering, and manufacturing company in the US.
Their MediaVice destruction equipment ensures the hard drives are destroyed accurately and efficiently by using a magnetic flux field that delivers a 20,000-gauss (2-tesla) magnetic field that can penetrate any enterprise HAMR/MAMR high-capacity drive to ensure complete erasure (competitors can only achieve max 1 tesla, hence not ensuring erasure).
This is coupled with patented crushing plates that deliver over 40,000 lbs of force to the vulnerable platters and read heads of the old hard drives. In less than a minute, the hard drive is crushed, mangled, rendered unreadable (similar to a shredding process), and then discharged into a waste collection bin.
Their family of devices ranges from tabletop units ideal for low throughputs such as EDGE and retail locations to rack mount units that are suited for small business server rooms and COLO/EDGE applications.
DISINTEGRATE THE HARD DRIVE
Standard compliance mandates destroying or disintegrating the media platter into 2-millimeter particles in size on edge.
It is highly recommended to disintegrate hybrid IS storage devices in bulk lots with other storage devices, as this particle size leaves no question that the media has been sanitized.
