Reasons
to
Degauss |
 |
- Degaussing reduces
exposure to compromise or classified data.
- Degaussing allows the
shipment of tape resources from classified to
unclassified sites and throughout projects.
- Degaussing eliminates
the time and labor resources required to destroy
magnetic media, either by stripping and
shredding. or burning.
- Degaussing allows the
declassification of selected media, significantly
reducing storage costs.
- Destroying magnetic
media through incineration releases toxic fumes
hazardous to the user as well as the environment.
- Tapes that previously
had to be destroyed due to project completion.
can now be recycled at significant cost savings..
- Degaussing extends
the life of tape by preventing recorders from
rejecting the tape due to resident data.
- Degaussing is
approved by the DOD, DIA, DIS, DOE, DOS and is
uniformly administered for use under National
Security Agency guidance.
- The DOD pretests and
approves all units to adhere to a standard which
precludes the accidental compromise of your
information.
- Degaussing allows
rigid media to be remanufactured without voiding
the original warranty.
