Waste Particle Comparison

A side by side comparison of shredded hard drives (right) and disintegrated hard drives (left).

Shredding meets all but the most stringent destruction requirements including, HIPPA, SARBANES-OXLEY, GRAMM-LEACH-BLILEY, etc.

Disintegration can reduce particle size down to 3/4". The NSA Hard Drive Destruction requirements do not specify the level of destruction of the drive after degaussing. However, this particle size can be based on the individual customer comfort level.

NSA Standard:

The standard states that the hard disc drives be degaussed using a degausser featured on the NSA Evaluated Product List. Although not required, it is highly recommended that the hard disk drive be physically damaged after degaussing.
