At this step, hard drives undergo software-based data wiping, ensuring that all stored information is overwritten and rendered inaccessible. This method is suitable for businesses that require basic data protection before repurposing or reselling IT assets.
For corporations requiring enhanced security, degaussing is a great option. Degaussing is a process that disrupts the magnetic fields of hard drives, making stored data irretrievable. This method is ideal for industries handling sensitive financial, healthcare, or government data.
The highest level of data destruction involves industrial-grade shredding, where hard drives are physically destroyed into tiny fragments. This ensures 100% data elimination, preventing any possibility of recovery.
