Is data destruction the same as destroying the media on which data is stored?No! Data destruction is the removal of data from a storage medium (the best and fast way for magnetic storage media is demagnetization - degaussing process). Media destruction is the physical damage of a data carrier by crushing, puncturing or shredding - this method is recommended for flash media. Last year research showed 80% of U.S. and Canadian respondents from 1850 senior decision makers across the US, Canada, Europe, and Asian Pacific region have reported their end-of-life devices are just being stockpiled in storage somewhere. And… stockpiled...

Rapid technological development has necessitated the very frequent replacement of IT devices. This equipment (e.g. hard disks, streamer tapes), may contain key information for the company, which in the case of falling into the wrong hands may pose a threat to the further functioning of the company or institution. This makes data protection against unauthorised access more important than ever. In institutions and enterprises, where confidential information is managed (such as personal data, credit card numbers, account numbers, product information, sales reports, etc.), there is a possibility of its uncontrolled leakage. Institutions such as e.g. banks, insurance or telecommunication companies...

The introduction of GDPR in Europe in 2018, and the consequent implementation of similar Local Data Protection Regulations in the majority of Countries, has increased the awareness of companies, institutions and business entities of the importance of adopting the most secure and advanced tools and technologies of data protection.A data breach or a data loss it is not just a huge economical and financial issue, but is also a reputation damage which can direct potential customers to competing companies. One of the most effective methods of removing data from magnetic media is degaussing - the media is exposed to a...

For the data to be effectively removed, the electromagnetic field emitted by the device should be much higher than the magnetic coercivity of the carrier. *Not re-usable after degaussing – after demagnetization, the carrier is no longer usable Other carriers and devices such as SSD memories, SD cards, mobile phones, smartphones, tablets etc. are only subject to physical destruction.

According to the United Nations, in 2020 over 50 million metric tons of e-waste have been discarded worldwide. An amount which has annually grown in recent years due to an increased access to technologies, and the throw-away culture promoted by electronics manufacturers, encouraging consumers and businesses to throw away their old devices to make way for the latest technological innovations. Among the e-wastes, are included also all types of data carriers (computers, photocopiers, printers, phones, tablets) that are often thrown away without any data protection.This huge amount of carriers often go into the second hand market without proper disposal, potentially...

GDPR wasn’t the first Privacy Regulation and it certainly won’t be the last to be issued. Strict data privacy legislations are appearing in several economies across the globe, meaning the list of “GDPR-free” heavens countries is growing shorter by the day. In many cases, the need for effective data erasure is clearly indicated. Data privacy laws almost anywhere in the world All the biggest economy of the world adopted or are close to adopting comparable data privacy laws. Just 2020 has seen coming into effect, among a few, the Brazil’s Lei Geral de Proteçao de Dados (LGPD), South Africa’s Protection...

The rules for destroying documents and keeping data safe for many years remained unregulated by law. The situation finally changed in 2018, when the local standard DIN 66399 (applicable in Germany, although it was also used in other countries due to the lack of detailed regulations) was replaced by the international standard ISO / IEC 21964. Two organizations, which form the specialized system for worldwide standardization: ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), have cooperated to establish a joint technical committee, ISO / IEC JTC, in the field of information technology. The ISO/IEC 21964 limits for particle...
