QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
What is the difference between media destruction and degaussing?
Media destruction refers to the physical destruction of smaller storage media such as USB sticks, CD/DVDs and SD cards. Degaussing is used for magnetic storage devices such as hard drives and tapes, where data is erased by removing the magnetic field. In some cases, degaussing is combined with crushing to achieve complete destruction.
Do you have products that meet NATO requirements?
Yes, several of our destruction systems are NATO-approved and meet requirements for physical data destruction according to established security standards. These products are especially adapted for operations within defense, government and total defense where documentable and approved destruction is a requirement.
What type of documents do you actually need to shred?
All documents containing personal data, customer data, business information or internal communications should be destroyed – even if they are not classified. A paper shredder reduces the risk of information leakage and helps businesses comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in an easy way.
