At Phiston Technologies, we have heard numerous stories about businesses and organizations knowingly or unknowingly failing to properly destroy media, hard drives, and other storage devices. Some of the stories include businesses and organizations having to pay a significant amount of money in fines and other fees. This is because of their failure to properly destroy the devices that contained significant data. Some businesses and organizations have also faced a variety of legal issues.
Unfortunately, many businesses and organizations are unaware of the best practices they should follow for media or hard drive destruction. Reformatting a hard drive or another storage device may seem like the best thing to do when one wants to get rid of media and data. But, this will not be enough. If you fail to enlist the services of specialists in media and hard drive destruction, you may face severe consequences.
When a drive has been degaussed, it means the drive will be completed in a way that will not allow it to be reversed. During the degaussing process, you will not have to worry about the damage to the drive. The equipment will fully erase the media and data on the drive. If your organization wants to reuse their data storage devices for other uses, the degaussing process is generally used.
The shredding process is also an effective and efficient process to destroy media and data storage devices. This process will shred the hard drive in multiple pieces. The destruction of the hard drives through this process will mean complete destruction of the data storage device.
