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...

Do you delete data from electronic media? Do you think there is no way to recover it?Check if you are right. Software If you delete data with the help of specialized software, you cannot be sure that no one will recover a part of it. In fact, the software overwrites a new payer of data, some of it propably can be recovered. Degausser Do you erase data with a specialized, good quality degausser? It’s a good idea! If you use professional equipment, the data cannot be recovered in any way. See professional degaussers here: degaussers for data erasure Media destroyer/shredder...

Degaussing (demagnetization) is a process for the safe elimination of the information contained in the hard disks and various media, based on exposing the memories to a strong magnetic field in order to eliminate the data and make the memory unusable, thus preserving the information stored in it from possible recoveries. Degausser is a device that degausses hard drives, magnetic tapes, etc.Note! 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.The National Security Agency has identified degaussing process (demagnetization) as an effective way to...

There are many different companies on the market that provide data destruction services. Unfortunately, many of them provide services that do not comply with restrictive procedures for the safe and irreversible removal of information from data carriers. Too low price for demagnetization or physical destruction of memory should make you think – is the company really providing this type of service professionally? In addition, it is important to know if such a company provides data deletion services, data carrier destruction services – or is it only concerned with their disposal?Companies dealing with the data destruction service remove information from media...

In the case of effective data destruction from data media, it is extremely important to know the technologies necessary to carry out the process. The selection of appropriate equipment and methods of data destruction depend mainly on the type of medium. Data deletion from magnetic media To erase information from a magnetic carrier (e.g. HDD, magnetic tape, floppy disk), it is enough to use a good quality degausser, which will irretrievably erase data by the action of a strong magnetic field.NOTE! For the data to be effectively removed, the magnetic field emitted by the device should be much higher than...

Regardless of the size, today’s companies are increasingly exposed to the loss of valuable data. We know that information is a critical and very expensive element. We also know that technology is moving forward, more and more threats appear. Therefore, the risk of information leakage or simply data loss cannot be 100% eliminated. However, we know that you can effectively protect yourself against this problem. Here are some tips: Make regular data backup.Thanks to this, it is possible to restore data in a situation where, for example, it has been destroyed or partially damaged.Encrypt your data.As the sensitive data in...

Degausser is a device that, thanks to its strong magnetic field, irrevocably erases data from magnetic media: hard drives, floppy disks, magnetic tapes etc.Purchasing this type of device is a reasonable decision. Thanks to the degausser, you not only delete data from unnecessary media, but also … save money. Buying a device is a good idea if you regularly need to delete data from storage media. You have your own equipment, so you don’t have to use the services of external companies. With the degausser, you remove data from magnetic disks whenever you want. You pay once and use the...

Many companies operating in accordance with the most stringent security standards use a two-step process of removing valuable information. Stage one: media demagantization (magnetic media) using a professional degausser. It’s best to use a device that is supported by the mobile application. Thanks to it, it is possible to scan, take photos of degaussed media or make a film from the whole process.See degausser with Mobile APP Stage two: Shredding media with a professional shredder, shredding them into small pieces. Damaged media should be recycled. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znGUrY7DkhM&t=2s
