Our Secure Data Destruction Methods



1. Data Wiping: Drive and mobile erasure

Certified Digital Erasure for Reuse or Disposal

A method of software-based overwriting, that completely destroys all electronic data residing on a hard disk drive, tablets, and mobile phones. It removes permanently all information such as emails, contacts, photos, and text messages, while leaving the devices operable; preserving assets and the environment. This method is ideal for organisations looking to repurpose or resell IT assets for value return without the risk of data breach; While maintaining compliance with data protection regulations.

a) Drive Erasure

Data erasure is the process of permanently and irreversibly removing or destroying the data stored on a memory device to make it unrecoverable. Even with the assistance of advanced forensic tools, the data will not ever be recovered.

Crown Information Management Singapore uses the industry’s most certified software to ensure the secure data erasure of your IT assets is 100% compliant with the standards and regulations in Singapore.

This process can be a time-consuming exercise to complete for any IT Department with the time required to properly erase data on a desktop or laptop being anywhere from 1 to 13 hours. By using our drive eraser solution, eradicating data can be performed at scale, within active networks and across IT assets, from fleets of devices to multi-location data centres or local storage.

Key Benefits:

  • Guarantees your data has been erased from any drive, from HDDs to SSDs, including self-encrypting drives.
  • Receive a tamper-proof audit trail for all assets, with a digitally signed Certificate of Erasure for each erasure instance.
  • Flexible control of external devices such as loose drives and Chromebooks (individually or in groups) that scales to your requirements.
  • Automation to speed up the erasure process and minimise risk of human error with pre-configured erasure settings.
  • Support for internal drive erasure commands.
  • Customisable deployment options to suit your security settings, goals, and requirements across departments, locations, or regions.
  • Environmentally friendly option for IT asset lifecycle management

b) Mobile Erasure

2. Degaussing and Destruction

Magnetic Data Erasure for Maximum Security

Degaussing & destruction is one of the most widely used and well-known methods of secure data destruction due to its efficacy, speed, and its ability to destroy all types of hard drives as well as other types of storage media consistently. This renders the data unrecoverable and permanently destroyed. The items will not be able to be re-used again.

It is important to know that hard drives that don’t work still contain their information and might put your company at risk if they are not degaussed before disposal.

Degaussing

Degaussing is a powerful method of data destruction that uses high-intensity magnetic fields to disrupt the magnetic domains on a storage device, effectively erasing all data. This is a method specifically designed for erasing data stored on magnetic media, such as hard drives, reels, cartridge tapes, diskettes, floppy disks, and magnetic strips on credit cards.

The degaussing process renders the device unusable and ensures that data cannot be recovered by any means.

It is important to know that hard drives that don’t work still contain their information and might put your company at risk if they are not degaussed before disposal. Our advanced degaussing equipment generates a powerful magnetic field that effectively wipes out all data stored on the media, rendering it irretrievable. The degaussing process ensures that the information cannot be recovered or accessed by unauthorised parties, thus safeguarding your sensitive data from potential breaches or misuse.

A photo documentation of the degaussing service will be provided, and you can choose to have the service done either onsite or offsite. If you opt for the offsite option, we can arrange a video call so that you can witness the process virtually.

Key Benefits:

  • Cost-effective - Degaussing offers a cost-effective solution for securely disposing of magnetic storage media. Degaussing allows organisations to reuse or recycle the media after data erasure, reducing the need for new storage devices and minimising environmental impact.
  • Efficiency and convenience< - Degaussing is a quick and efficient method of data sanitisation, allowing organisations to securely erase large volumes of data in a relatively short amount of time.
  • Secure data erasure solution from damaged media - Degaussing serves as a reliable solution for securely erasing data from damaged media that cannot be effectively sanitised through traditional methods like overwriting. Degaussing erases all data stored on the storage media by utilising the powerful magnetic field, regardless of its condition.
  • Compliant with international data destruction standards - It is one of the most widely used and well-known methods of secure data destruction due to its efficacy, speed, and its ability to destroy all types of hard drives as well as other types of storage media consistently. This renders the data unrecoverable and permanently destroyed.

Destruction

But data destruction doesn’t stop there. We go beyond degaussing to ensure complete and secure disposal of your sensitive information. Our service includes the physical destruction of the storage media to further ensure the complete and secure disposal of your data.

By physically destroying the storage media, we eliminate any possibility of data recovery, providing you with peace of mind that your information is safely and permanently removed from circulation.

Once your IT assets are completely destroyed, a comprehensive Certification of Degaussing, and Certified of Assured Destruction will be generated. It is customisable according to your organisation’s compliance and auditing needs. All activities are logged, ensuring absolute transparency and gapless security before and during the auditing process.

Shredding - Physically slicing the hard drives into tiny fragments, making data irretrievable.

Crushing – Destroying hard drives, mobile phones and laptops under extreme pressure with a steel punch.

Grinding – Using a machine that grinds items to dust, ensuring any data on them is unrecoverable.
