In today’s digital world, information has decisive significance. Vast amounts of sensitive data are being processed daily. There are various methods that are used to protect the privacy and confidentiality of this data. However, these ways are employed when the files are actively used.
After some time, some of the documents become unneeded. These files may still contain secretive information, so it is essential to erase them in the safest way possible. Simply deleting it from your hard drive or server is not enough, as it can still be stored somewhere on the device. Hence, you need to approach this case professionally.
What is Data Destruction?
If you need to delete the data from your digital media completely, then destruction is the safest option. With this method, your information becomes unreadable and irrecoverable.
Deleting a file yourself is always an option. However, this method does not guarantee a complete erasure of your documents. Sooner or later, anyone will access your sensitive files and use them to their advantage.
Nowadays, providers of erasure services use various techniques to achieve successful results.
Methods of Secure Data Erasure on the Device
Logical Destruction
The data on your device can be overwritten intentionally and unintentionally. In either case, the information will be lost completely. Logical destruction is a process of replacing original data with a random set of 0s and 1s. Overwriting must be performed based on the highest security standards so that no data will be left on the storage media. This technique is preferable for users who are planning to continue using a storage device.
Degaussing
Another method for the complete deletion of your data is degaussing. This technique is mainly used on hard drives. Special equipment, degausser, is used to demagnetize the drive's platter, making it impossible to use. Via strong magnetic waves, this tool permanently erases the data. This method has consequences, as it is impossible to use a drive after that. This technique guarantees efficient results of the erasure.
Physical Destruction
When there is no need to reuse or resell the media, the physical destruction method can be used to eliminate the data. This kind of data erasure is performed by destroying the media and deleting access to files physically. This process should be performed by professionals to ensure that all the data is erased based on the destruction norms. However, a physically destroyed device still stores data, which can be restored from fragments.
Formatting
Formatting is a data erasure technique suitable only when dealing with a small amount of data. This erasure process can be very time-consuming so it will take forever for high-capacity devices. Formatting is also suitable for users who need their device after erasing data from it. Another benefit of this method is that you can specify the files that must be destroyed. Via specialized formatting, only the required documents will be erased.
Regardless of which technique you decide to employ on your device, a data sanitization process must be performed by a reputable company. This will confirm that there is no unwanted data left on your device. By entrusting your case to specialists, your privacy will stay protected.
