  1. DATA ERASURE METHODS

  2. Introduction Data erasure refers to the process of physically destroying a hard drive or other storage devices. It is also a process of removing and discarding data using software to overwriting data from any data storage device using zeros and ones onto all sectors of device.

  3. 3 Main Methods of Data Destruction Wiping : Wiping is used to completely remove all traces of data from a hard drive or other storage media. This is not as secure as hard drive degaussing, but it does leave less room for error. Data Degaussing: Degaussing data destruction is a data erasure method of destroying magnetic data media, such as hard disks and floppy disks. It is the most secure method because it doesn’t leave any trace of the data in the media. Shredding: Shredding involves cutting up hard drives into small pieces, and then burning them in an incinerator or shredding machine to destroy their magnetic properties.

  4. Others Data Erasures Methods Purging : This is a sensitive method of hard drive erasure that saves your information even from a laboratory attack. It permanently removes obsolete data from the storage devices. This data is saved as a copy on another device as an archive so it can be accessed later but not from the main device. Delete/Reformat : The basic method of deleting your information from the hard drives is widely used as a data erasure method. However, deleting might remove the file but does not actually destroy the data and it can be retrieved. Overwriting : This method calls for overwriting information patterns with random ones, which is then erased using ultraviolet light or some other method that destroys all traces of original information on a medium (such as an optical disc). Physical Destruction : Physical data destruction is exactly what it sounds like. The hard drives are destroyed by physical methods in a crusher or other heavy machinery

  5. Best Data Erasure Methods For You

  6. Factors For Data Destruction Services Cost : Your budget is important. If your budget allows it, you can easily hire a reliable yet highly secure company to get any data destruction and hard drive erasure services you are looking for. Certification : Does your secure data erasing company offer a certificate of data sanitisation? If not, it is not reliable enough to get services for your sensitive information. Always look for an organisationthat offers you valid paperwork. Documentation : A clear audit trail with all the required details about the device and information destroyed must be provided by a registered company so make sure to get this documentation when you get data erasure services.
