Methods

Once the customer has determined the security and data destruction levels, we will destroy the data using the customer preferred method of Clearing, Purging, or Physical Destruction.

 

  •  Clearing via Wiping: Media destroyed using this method will be wiped using BLANCCO software, which meets the Department of Defense Standard 5220.22-M.
  •  Purging via Degaussing(*): This method uses the Proton 8000 Degausser/Bulk Eraser, which has the capability to erase computer magnetic media, tapes, disks, cartridges, A/V tape film, and hard drives.
  •  Physical Destruction via Shredding: This method shreds the media device into pieces two inches or smaller. With this selection, customers also have the option to witness the shredding and may request multiple passes through the shredder to meet their desired shred size.
