NSA-Listed Degaussing for Hard Drives & Tape Media
Under NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 guidelines, degaussing is an approved purge method for magnetic HDDs and tape media, rendering data irretrievable through a controlled alternating magnetic field from an NSA/CSS EPL-listed degausser. STS deploys NSA-approved degaussers meeting EPL field-strength requirements for modern high-density drives and LTO tape — providing complete erasure verified through serial-number-specific documentation for every device processed in Wichita, KS.
Per Wichita hard drive shredding and degaussing protocols, degaussed drives are followed by physical destruction for dual-layer NSA/CSS Policy 9-12 compliance — the standard for regulated aerospace, healthcare, and government sectors. Every item receives a serial-number-specific certificate of destruction within 48 hours.

Wichita’s Trusted Partner for Certified Degaussing
The U.S. e-waste recycling industry generated $28.1 billion in revenue in 2024, according to IBISWorld, as enterprises accelerate secure media disposition. Spirit AeroSystems — acquired by Boeing in July 2024, employing 9,500 to 13,000 people in Wichita — represents the aerospace density driving demand for NSA-listed degaussing across Sedgwick County. For classified and controlled magnetic media, degaussing is mandated under DoD and NSA/CSS Policy 9-12 — software erasure alone does not satisfy these standards.

Wichita Degaussing Services FAQ
Everything Wichita organizations need to know about NSA-listed degaussing, certified media destruction, and compliant disposal documentation for HDDs and tape media.
What certifications does STS hold for degaussing services?
STS maintains R2v3 certification, NAID AAA certification, and NIST 800-88 compliant degaussing processes. Our equipment appears on the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List — the government standard for approved magnetic sanitization. Independent third-party audits verify compliance annually.
How Does Degaussing Work and When Is It Required?
Degaussing exposes magnetic HDDs and tape media to a controlled alternating field from an NSA-listed degausser, permanently eliminating data by randomizing magnetic domains. Under NSA/CSS Policy 9-12 and DoD 5220.22-M, degaussing is required for classified or controlled magnetic media when software erasure alone is insufficient. STS Electronic Recycling provides this service in Wichita with same-week scheduling across Sedgwick County.
What types of media can be degaussed?
STS degausses all magnetic formats: SATA and SAS HDDs, IDE drives, LTO tape (all generations), DLT, SDLT, DAT cartridges, 9-track tape, and legacy floppy media. Note: SSDs and flash drives cannot be degaussed — physical destruction is required for certified sanitization of solid-state media.
Do you provide audit documentation for degaussed media?
Yes. Every engagement produces a serial-number-specific certificate of destruction, chain-of-custody report, and asset inventory manifest — delivered digitally within 48 hours, formatted for HIPAA, FERPA, SOX, and NIST 800-88. Call (800) 398-2016 for details.
