Data destruction is the process by which
un-required data of a company gets destroyed.
This data can be stored in hard disks, tapes and
any other form of electronic media. However, due
to the immense risk associated with the process,
the data destruction or data shredding services
needs to be 100 authentic and reliable. There
are various forms of data destruction processes.
Firstly there is the simple data destruction
wherein the stored information is being deleted
in order to make free space in a companys
storage system. Then there is the data
degaussing system. A data degausser uses magnetic
field to clear any information which are not
required by the owner. Thirdly there is the
option of data shredding or hard drive shredding.
This is more of a mechanical process of
physically destroying the hard drives and storage
discs so that no data can be accessed from them,
again.

Why data Destruction is required? Once the
data is being destructed then it is no longer
accessible by any sort of operating system. Mere
deletion of the files is not enough. That is why
hard disk destructors are used in order to
over-write whatever available space is there in
the storage device. The idea is to make the data
completely untraceable and undetectable.
Sometimes, incomplete or inefficient data
deletion processes leave the risk of unethical
usage of the information, later on. That is why a
company needs to be vigilant in hiring a correct
data destruction service provider.

What is data degaussing? Data destruction is
also feasible via the process of degaussing. A
data degausser uses strong magnetic fields to
erase or destroy all the stored data in a storage
device. Also known as hard drive degaussing, this
process is very effective in eradicating any
trace and sign of unnecessary data from a
companys storage. However, considering the
severity of this process, the owner of the data
and data drives must be aware of the fact the
desired strength of the data degausser. This
problem can easily be solved by hiring the
correct data degaussing service provider. A

Professional hard disk shredding companies come
handy in such scenarios as they offer both onsite
and offsite data shredding services. In case of
the former, they will send trained professionals
at your location and perform the shredding

carry the hard disks and tapes from your location
and perform the shredding activity on them at
their location. In case of both the cases you
