Hard Drive Degaussing: NIST 800-88 Rev. 2 Compliant
STS uses NSA/CSS EPL-listed degaussers exceeding 1.5 Tesla field strength to permanently eliminate magnetic data from enterprise SAS, SATA, and consumer HDDs, achieving NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 Purge classification with pass confirmation logged per unit. Bloomingdale businesses also needing hard drive shredding services can request a combined degauss-plus-shred workflow under one Certificate of Destruction.
According to IBM's 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average breach costs $4.88 million, making hardware-level data elimination a critical component of every IT retirement program. Degaussed drives are permanently non-functional, providing physical confirmation of complete data destruction that cannot be reversed or recovered through software tools.

Tape Media Degaussing: LTO, DAT, and Backup Formats
Backup tape libraries represent some of the highest-density data concentrations in enterprise environments. STS degausses LTO-5 through LTO-9, DAT/DDS, DLT, SDLT, and legacy 9-track formats using NSA-listed equipment calibrated for full-width erasure across all tape cartridge formats. Processing is logged at the individual cartridge level with make, format, and serial number captured for the final Certificate of Destruction.
STS Electronic Recycling provides certified tape degaussing for Bloomingdale-area healthcare organizations including BayCare HealthHub, whose backup tape libraries contain patient records requiring secure erasure to support HIPAA 45 CFR §164.312 media disposal requirements. High-volume bulk tape library processing is available for organizations retiring entire archive systems, with cartridge-level serialized documentation throughout.

Bloomingdale Degaussing Services FAQ
Everything you need to know about certified degaussing, compliance standards, and audit documentation for Bloomingdale businesses and Hillsborough County organizations.
What is degaussing and how does it destroy data?
Degaussing applies a powerful magnetic field to permanently erase data on magnetic hard drives and tape cartridges by disrupting the magnetic domains, leaving media completely blank and physically non-functional. Under NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 guidelines, certified degaussing achieves Purge-level classification for magnetic HDDs and tape, the highest sanitization tier, preferred by Bloomingdale Compliance Officers requiring verifiable data elimination.
What certifications cover your degaussing services?
STS holds independent certification for data destruction operations, and our degausser equipment appears on the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List. We serve Bloomingdale from our certified processing facility, providing secure data destruction with NIST 800-88 Rev. 2 aligned magnetic media erasure and serialized Certificates of Destruction on every engagement, with digital delivery within 48 hours.
