Mandates & Security Guidelines.

Strict Local, State and Federal legislation has been implemented to protect the information of consumers, employees and business when disposing of IT equipment.  It is common today to hear about instances of private or confidential data being found on IT equipment that has been  returned, donated, sold or disposed of.  Degaussing will permanently erase the information from hard drives and data tape in seconds, preventing the unauthorized retrieval of data.  Degaussing will also permanently erase the data from non-functioning hard drives and data tape allowing the media to be safely returned to the manufacturer or to be disposed.  Several of the mandates, regulations and security guidelines that degaussing will help you meet are listed below.
