Drive Destruction vs. Data Erasure: The Secure Choice for Modern IT

When it comes to secure data disposal, the debate often comes down to drive destruction vs. data erasure. While shredding or degaussing may seem effective, these outdated methods can leave gaps in security, increase compliance risks, and generate unnecessary e-waste. Certified data erasure provides a safer, more sustainable, and fully auditable alternative—helping organisations meet GDPR, ISO 27001, and other strict data protection requirements while reducing costs and environmental impact.

Historically entrenched policies for shredding and degaussing are raising your security risk on newer technologies. Here’s how to dispose of drive data more securely.

Drive Destruction vs. Data Erasure: Which Data Disposal Method is Most Secure?

Destroying drives and devices is viscerally satisfying. But today’s data-dense chips are quickly rendering traditional data protection approaches obsolete.

Business needs for efficiency and scalability are also escalating: heightened global competition, rapidly changing customer needs, intensifying cyberthreats, and a post-GDPR tsunami of data regulations demand that data protection, including data sanitization, keep pace.

Blank is change. And really, sure-fire protection at every stage of the data lifecycle has always demanded looking ahead. Learn why data disposal is no different.
