D3 Services’ New Tier 4 Data Erasure Service
Certifies Secure Reuse of Hard Drives and Flash Media
D3eraSE™ Service Maintains Integrity of Drives and Media While Providing a Faster,
More Secure Process for Destroying Data than “Overwriting”
Iron River, Wisconsin (July 8, 2008) – Digital Data Destruction
Services (D3), a leading provider of data destruction and green
recycling of electronic media by-products, today announced the launch
of D3eraSE™, a new Tier 4 electronic data destruction service that
permanently erases all data stored to a client’s hard drives and/or
flash media making recovery impossible and the media reusable. A more
secure solution than “overwriting,” D3eraSE™ is classified by the
National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) as acceptable
for company confidential documents and has been accepted by the
Department of Defense for media containing data labeled “Secret”.
D3’s new D3eraSE Tier 4 service protects against security breaches and
complies with laws and regulations regarding data retention and
privacy. This new service also provides organizations with high volumes
of hard drives and flash media considerable data security over less
secure alternatives such as overwriting, as well as considerable
savings by making the drives secure for reuse by fully deleting all
traces of information stored on the targeted media.
“Our new Tier 4 data destruction service is far more secure than
overwriting, is four times faster than overwriting,” said Dr. Roger
Hutchison, President and CEO of D3. “It’s an ideal option for our
customers who do not need Tier 5, ‘beyond forensic recovery’
destruction and want to reuse their hard drives or Flash media. By
securely striping and reusing their existing stock of hard drives and
Flash media, our customers can save thousands of dollars annually
without losing sleep over what data was stored there previously.”
Tier 3 destruction or DoD Directive 5220.22 triple pass overwriting,
leaves the opportunity for forensic recovery of up to 10% of stored
data. Tier 5 data destruction service requires the disassembly of the
hard drives, degaussing or neutralizing the magnetic signal that
represents data, the disintegratation of the media into disk pieces too
small to recover useable data, and finally one hundred percent of the
by-products are recycled. The combination of the two processes
eliminates the possibility of forensic recovery, but also makes the
media unusable. The addition of D3eraSE as a Tier 4 service gives D3
Services a complete menu of secure data destruction options to offer
clients while still holding true to the company’s 100% Green
commitment.
