In today’s era of heightened data security threats and stringent compliance obligations, UK organisations handling classified or sensitive information must adopt the most robust disposal methods available. The TS-1XTE High Security Degausser offers military-grade, NSA-compliant data destruction—providing a level of assurance no software-based method can match.

Whether you’re in government, defence, finance, or healthcare, when the stakes are high, secure data disposal is non-negotiable. The TS-1XTE ensures your magnetic media is rendered completely unreadable, meeting both national and international security standards.

What Is the TS-1XTE High Security Degausser?

The TS-1XTE is an NSA-evaluated, high-intensity degausser that destroys data by generating an ultra-powerful magnetic field of over 20,000 gauss. It is specifically designed for the destruction of top-secret and classified magnetic media including hard disk drives and data tapes.

Its compact design allows for on-site use in secure offices, data centres, and government locations, eliminating the need to transport sensitive media off-site.

Why It Matters for Classified Data

Irreversible Data Erasure

Conventional deletion or overwriting techniques often leave traces that can be recovered using forensic tools. Degaussing with the TS-1XTE physically destroys the magnetic field patterns, making data recovery impossible—even for the most advanced technologies.

Meets UK Government Compliance

With increasing focus on data privacy and national security, organisations must ensure their disposal methods are aligned with UK GDPR, NCSC, and MoD standards. The TS-1XTE meets or exceeds these requirements, offering peace of mind to compliance officers and security personnel alike.

Suitable for Top Secret Media

Used by military, intelligence, and critical infrastructure sectors, the TS-1XTE can be safely deployed to destroy data tapes (DLT, LTO, 3480) and hard drives (2.5” and 3.5”) storing highly sensitive data.
