NSA-Approved Degaussers for Ocoee FL
NSA/CSS EPL-listed degaussers generate controlled electromagnetic fields exceeding 20,000 Oersteds, permanently erasing data by randomizing magnetic domains on hard disk drives, LTO tape cartridges, and backup media. The process meets DoD 5220.22-M and NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 standards for purge-level sanitization, rendering storage media permanently non-functional with no pathway for forensic data recovery.
For organizations requiring purge-level media destruction, degaussing provides certified sanitization under NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2, the current federal standard. Orlando Health Health Central Hospital (252 beds, West Colonial Drive) and healthcare providers throughout Ocoee rely on certified magnetic erasure to support HIPAA 45 CFR §164.312 compliance. IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report shows healthcare breach costs average $7.42 million, reinforcing the need for verified data destruction in Ocoee.
NSA/CSS EPL-Listed Equipment
Degaussers on the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List provide verified field strength exceeding 20,000 Oersteds for certified magnetic destruction of modern high-density media.
DoD 5220.22-M Compliant
Department of Defense standard magnetic erasure with field strength verification, device inspection, and destruction confirmation documented for every engagement.
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2
Current federal data sanitization standard applied to all magnetic media, with purge-level verification and documentation in compliance with csrc.nist.gov/pubs/sp/800/88/r2/final.
Post-Degauss Verification
Functional testing confirms complete data destruction before Certificate of Destruction is issued, meeting NSA/CSS verification requirements for degaussed media.
Audit-Ready Certificate of Destruction
Every degaussing engagement includes a serial-number-specific certificate of destruction documenting the device identifier, degauss date, operator, and equipment used. Ocoee organizations managing HIPAA, FISMA, or corporate compliance requirements can use this documentation for audit inquiries, risk assessments, and vendor due diligence reviews. Facilities needing physical destruction alongside degaussing can pair this with Ocoee hard drive shredding for layered media security.
Chain-of-custody documentation begins at pickup and logs each transfer through final processing. Per NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2, destruction records must identify the method applied, equipment used, and successful completion verification. All three requirements appear in the standard Certificate of Destruction package, typically delivered within 48 hours of service completion.
Serial-Number-Specific CoD
Device-by-device certificates matching your asset manifest for precise compliance documentation and serial-number-level accountability across your full media inventory.
Chain-of-Custody Reports
Complete asset tracking from pickup through final disposition with timestamped transfer records at every point in the secure logistics chain.
Compliance-Formatted Documentation
Reports formatted to support HIPAA 45 CFR §164.312, FISMA, and state breach notification requirements for Ocoee organizations in regulated industries.
Weight Tickets
Material certificates confirming disposition of all media processed in your engagement, supporting environmental and ESG reporting requirements.

Degaussing Services Ocoee FL FAQ
Everything you need to know about certified magnetic erasure, compliance documentation, and scheduled pickup for Ocoee organizations.
What types of media can be degaussed?
STS degausses all magnetic storage media: hard disk drives (HDDs), magnetic tapes (LTO, DDS, DLT, AIT), backup cartridges, zip disks, and floppy disks. Solid-state drives, USB flash media, and optical discs contain no magnetic domains and require physical shredding for certified destruction. Contact us to confirm your specific media types before scheduling.
What certifications do you hold for degaussing?
STS holds NAID AAA certification for data destruction, which validates our processes, equipment standards, and chain-of-custody documentation through independent third-party auditing conducted annually. We apply NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 and DoD 5220.22-M standards to all magnetic media engagements and issue a device-level Certificate of Destruction for every item processed.
How does degaussing compare to hard drive shredding?
Degaussing permanently destroys magnetic domains using a powerful electromagnetic field, rendering the drive non-functional without visible particle reduction. Physical shredding reduces drives to small fragments, preferred for witnessed destruction events where visible evidence of destruction is required. Both methods meet NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 purge-level standards and include a Certificate of Destruction with full chain-of-custody reporting.
Do you provide a Certificate of Destruction for each device?
Yes. Every device processed receives a serial-number-specific Certificate of Destruction documenting the device identifier, method applied, date, operator, and equipment used. Documentation is formatted to support HIPAA, FISMA, and corporate compliance audit requirements, typically delivered within 48 hours of service completion.
