Government Approved Degaussers

If like many governments and organisations around the world you need a degausser that has NSA, CESG or NATO certification, then Verity Systems range of government certified degaussers provides you with the maximum security required.
Government agencies are required to manage their data security to detailed specifications which would require them to buy an approved degausser. Safe and secure data disposal is critical within the military which is why the Department of Defense (DoD) also adheres to these guidelines.
In addition if an organisation is involved in managing highly sensitive or confidential information such as financial, medical, education, personal and legal information, they must be vigilant in how they deal with the disposal of such information and the use of an approved degausser would be highly recommended.

Security of data is also a legal requirement under Australia Piracy Acts.

For complete physical data security, please look at our physical hard drive destroyer - the VS7000, tested and used by the NSA and the DoD.

SDD Master NSA approved degausser

SDD Master NSA Government Approved, High Security Hard Drive Degausser
A high energy, chamber-style pulse degausser designed to offer complete and secure erasure of magnetic media, to the highest security level, including perpendicular & longitude recording hard drives. Also capable of erasing data storage media including LTO, 8mm, DDS and more. Typical throughput is 40 hard drives per hour. Manual or remote control operation.

NSA Approval

The NSA is an agency of the US government which is responsible for protecting U.S. government communications and information systems. The NSA publishes guidance on the sanitization (erasure), declassification, and release of storage devices for disposal or recycling. Within this, the NSA publish the EPL-Degausser (Evaluated Products list - Degausser) which specifies the current degaussers that have been evaluated against and found to satisfy the requirements for erasure of magnetic storage devices that retain sensitive or classified data.

CESG Approval

CESG is the Information Assurance (IA) arm of GCHQ and aims to protect and promote the vital interests of the UK by providing advice and assistance on the security of communications and electronic data.

The CESG Standard has two levels of degaussing:

Lower Level - for RESTRICTED and below. This means any magnetic media (holding RESTRICTED or less) may be regarded as NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED after being degaussed.

Higher Level - for CONFIDENTIAL and above. Magnetic media that is CONFIDENTIAL and above may still be degaussed but the degaussed media is subject to additional handling requirements (i.e. destruction).

SV91 CESG & NATO approved degausser

SV91 CESG & NATO Approved Hard Drive and Tape Degausser
A high energy, degausser especially designed to eliminate all data from computer, laptop and server hard drives. Will also erase data from high coercivity tape, including LTO, DLT, Super DLT, AIT, and more. Manual or infra red remote control operation. 3 year warranty

SV5000 CESG & NATO approved degausser

SV5000 CESG & NATO Approved Conveyor Tape and Reel Degausser
For the volume erasing of high-density metal tapes and cassettes the SV5000 performance will satisfy your requirements. Automatically controlled by an electronic eye the reels, disks or cassettes are placed on the wide conveyor belt where they are automatically passed through the 4000 Gauss field. Up to five hundred VHS cassettes can be erased per hour.

SV90 CESG & NATO approved degausser

SV90 CESG & NATO Approved Drawer Tape and Reel Degausser
The SV90 security degausser is able to perform automatic erasure of high-density magnetic media achieved by applying a highly focused magnetic field created by the Verity Systems exclusive multi-axis, 'pole tip' design. The tapes or cassettes are placed in the drawer compartment and rotated within the powerful 7000 Gauss field ensuring uniform and complete erasure.
