How is secure data erasure done?
Wiping out confidential data from your storage devices is to be done in such a way that it can’t ever be revoked. The data erasure process includes fetching hard disk parameters and testing for drive errors. Then, disks are subjected to electromagnetic degaussing or overwriting. Flash buffers are used in overwriting to check errors in the process and overwriting is repeated multiple times.
What processes are used for safely removing data?
Erasing
Erasing or overwriting is a software-based method that wipes readable data completely to prevent any data leaks. This involves writing 0s and 1s over data making it irrevocable and unreadable.
Degaussing
Degassing is a data destruction process based on demagnetizing the magnetic surfaces of storage devices. Degaussing uses electromagnetic force to neutralize the local magnetic fields and destroy the data to prevent recovery.
Shredding
Shredding is a physical data destruction process that makes hard drives and other storage media completely unusable. Shredding machines are used to shred the media into tiny pieces, similar to paper shredding.
Data Erasure for All Storage Devices
Reusable data storage drives like hard disk drives (2.5-inch and 3.5-inch, solid state drives, USB flash drives, SAN, SCIS, SAS, diskettes and tape drives, SD cards, microdrives, etc. Data from various types of tape drives like linear tape open (LTO), Advanced intelligent tape (AIT), Quarter inch cartridge (QIC), support raid dismantling, and similar data tapes can also be subjected to data erasure.

Methods Used for Data Erasure
We use only secure methods to remove data from your devices permanently.

Working hard drives, floppy disks, tapes, and non-working hard drives are removed carefully from various devices and are thoroughly cleaned and checked to identify errors and select a procedure.
Complete Deletion of Data
Hard drives are checked multiple times for errors and to wipe off any pending data completely. Customers get a certificate of compliance and completion of the data erasure process as a guarantee.
Hard Drive Wiping
Only deleting the files is insufficient, hard drives need to be wiped out completely. So, creating backup and recovery files is important. Tools like DBAN, CBL MHDD, etc. are used for data wiping.
Permanent Drive Shredding
To dispose of hard drives that are damaged, shredding is an efficient method. Hard drives and other storage media after the data erasure procedure are crushed into tiny pieces and disposed of safely.
