Degaussing is the process of demagnetizing or neutralizing the magnetic field used for storage of magnetic media, thereby rendering previous data unrecoverable. An increasing number of government regulations, industry standards, and internal risk mitigation policies require organizations to sanitize storage media prior to disposal or reuse. 

Though specific requirements vary, the goal is the same—to ensure the data contained on storage media cannot be recovered using any method. 

At TEWS, we provide degaussing and physical destruction of magnetic storage media to help you eliminate the risk of data theft and meet the standards that govern your organization’s operations.

Our degaussers eliminate all magnetically stored data on working and non-working hard magnetic storage devices in 1/10^th of a second, rendering the media safe for disposal. Our degausser are fully compliant with National institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication Series 800-88, U.S. Department Of Defense (DoD) Standard 5220.22-M (Sanitization) and NSA/CSS Policy Statement 9-12, “NSA/CSS Storage Device Sanitization” and are re-verified annually by the manufacturer. Our degausser are fast, quiet and energy efficient that operates off a standard wall outlet, designed for use inside an office environment. 

We provide auditable proof of erasure and destruction.  At the end of the job, certification of destruction will be provided with storage media device product number and serial number.

Our team has been background checked, expertly trained to handle all kind of media storage device destruction and disposal service.

On-Site Data Degaussing Service – Minimum Chain of Custody, in person witnessing of data destruction at your office. We will bring the degausser on-site, assets reconciliation and recording of serial number of storage media device.

Off-site Data Degaussing Service – Our team will reconciliate the quantity for destruction on-site, store and sealed the storage media device in a secure container. Container will be secure with sealed tag with serial number and transport back to our 24 hours CCTV surveillance and access control area stored and await for destruction.

MW-1B (NSA Certified)

The MW-1B Degausser uses magnetism to erase/destroy data, so it works with all magnetic-recording media, including hard disks, tapes and floppy disks. Instantly erases data regardless of OS, storage capacity, interface (IDE, SCSI) and also sanitizes damaged hard disks. The MW-1B Degausser incorporates the latest technology and is the world’s most compact, lightweight and efficient instant degausser in its category. The MW-1B utilizes leading edge technology background in degaussing, data recovery and data processing to produce an approx. 20,000 gauss field in a patented erasure zone design. This enables characteristics and performance that are at the top level for NSA listed degaussers.

 The compact body incorporates the latest magnetic tape erasure technology employing diagonal magnetization to improve the efficiency of data erasure relative to the magnetic field by 50%! Provides secure data erasure from hitherto difficult-to-sanitize perpendicular magnetic-recording hard disks as well as conventional horizontal-recording hard disks.
