It helps maintain the integrity and confidentiality of data.

How to Erase Data Securely

Secure data erasure goes beyond just deleting files or formatting disks. It completely removes the data, not just cutting off access to it. Such conventional methods leave behind latent data fragments, susceptible to sophisticated recovery techniques.

To counteract this vulnerability, secure erasure necessitates a comprehensive obliteration of data, employing methodologies that ensure absolute destruction and non-recoverability. Varese Secure champions this cause with an arsenal of techniques tailored to the diverse spectrum of storage media:

• Degaussing: Our degaussing process uses strong magnetic fields to erase data on magnetic media, making it impossible to recover.
• Physical Destruction: We support destroying media to prevent data access or recovery. We use methods that make the media unusable and the data inside permanently inaccessible.
• Secure Data Wiping: Our data wiping service securely erases data by replacing it with random patterns, making it impossible to recover the original information.

These methodologies underscore our commitment to secure data erasure, providing a bulwark against unauthorised data retrieval and reinforcing the security perimeter around sensitive information.
