Common Questions

Altamonte Springs Degaussing Services FAQ

Answers to common questions about certified degaussing services, magnetic media destruction standards, and documentation for Altamonte Springs organizations.

How does degaussing permanently destroy data?

Degaussing exposes magnetic media to a strong alternating magnetic field that randomizes the magnetic domains used to store binary data. NSA/CSS EPL certified equipment generates field strength exceeding the coercivity of the target media, meeting NIST 800-88 Rev. 2 Purge-level requirements and rendering data unrecoverable by any known forensic technique.

What certifications does STS hold for degaussing in Altamonte Springs?

STS holds NAID AAA certification covering data destruction operations including degaussing, and R2v3 certification for responsible electronics recycling and downstream processing. All degaussing follows NIST 800-88 Rev. 2 compliant procedures. NIST 800-88 is a standard STS follows; it is not a held certification.

What media types can be degaussed?

NSA/CSS EPL certified equipment processes hard disk drives, LTO and DLT backup tapes, DAT cartridges, floppy disks, and all rotating magnetic media. Solid-state drives, USB flash drives, and optical discs cannot be degaussed and require physical destruction instead. STS assesses each organization's full media inventory and recommends the correct sanitization method per device type.

Do you provide a Certificate of Destruction for degaussed media?

Yes. Every engagement includes a serial-number-specific certificate of destruction documenting each item processed, the destruction method, date, field strength applied, and certified operator. Documentation supports HIPAA, GLBA Safeguards Rule, SOX, and FERPA audit requirements. To request a sample CoD, email This email address is being protected from spambots.
