Tape Media Degaussing — LTO, DAT, DLT & Legacy Formats
Backup tape libraries represent a frequently overlooked data security risk. LTO, DAT, DLT, Ultrium, and legacy tape formats contain dense magnetic recordings that survive physical disposal unless properly degaussed. STS processes all tape media formats through NSA-listed degaussers, ensuring complete erasure per NIST 800-88 before any media leaves chain-of-custody documentation.
Healthcare organizations including Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Irving (296 beds) and Medical City Las Colinas (99 beds, Level III Trauma Center) operate under HIPAA 45 CFR §164.312, which requires that electronic PHI on disposed media be rendered irretrievable. Backup tapes containing patient records, billing data, and clinical documentation require certified degaussing to satisfy HIPAA's technical safeguard requirements. STS provides Business Associate Agreement documentation alongside Certificates of Destruction for healthcare tape media projects. For enterprises evaluating hard drive shredding in Irving, TX as a complement to degaussing, STS offers combined media destruction programs.

Degaussing Services Irving, TX — FAQ
Everything Irving businesses need to know about NSA-listed degaussing, NIST 800-88 compliance, and certified data destruction for HDDs and magnetic media.
What is degaussing and how does it destroy data?
Degaussing exposes magnetic storage media to an intense, alternating magnetic field that randomizes all recorded magnetic domains — permanently erasing data. This magnetic data sanitization method satisfies the NIST 800-88 Purge category, making data unrecoverable even with laboratory forensic tools. Certificate of Destruction is issued upon completion.
Does degaussing work on SSDs or flash storage?
Degaussing is effective only on magnetic storage media — traditional HDDs, LTO tape, DLT, DAT, and floppy disks. SSDs, USB drives, and flash-based media are not affected by magnetic fields. For SSDs, STS provides NIST 800-88 compliant cryptographic erasure or physical hard drive shredding in Irving, TX.
What compliance standards does degaussing satisfy in Irving, TX?
NSA-listed degaussing satisfies NIST SP 800-88 Rev.1 Purge category, DoD 5220.22-M, and NSA/CSS EPL requirements. For Irving's financial sector, this fulfills data destruction obligations under SOX Section 404, GLBA Safeguards Rule, and SEC Regulation S-P. Healthcare organizations also satisfy HIPAA 45 CFR §164.312 technical safeguard requirements.
What NSA-listed degaussing equipment does STS use?
STS uses degaussers from the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List (EPL) — the federal government's approved equipment list for classified and sensitive media erasure. EPL-listed equipment is the standard required for government contractors, defense suppliers, and organizations handling data under federal security frameworks operating throughout Irving-Las Colinas.
What documentation is provided after degaussing?
Each degaussing engagement includes a serial-number-specific Certificate of Destruction, NIST 800-88 Rev.1 compliance documentation, chain-of-custody records, asset inventory manifest with device condition grading, and weight tickets. Certificates are issued within 48 hours and formatted for SOX, GLBA, HIPAA, and corporate audit requirements.
Can degaussing be performed on-site at your location in Irving?
Yes. STS offers on-site degaussing at your Irving, TX location with witnessed destruction and real-time certificate generation — no media leaves your premises.
