The Data Killers division of Turtle Wings offers the ultimate service for quickly, securely and completely degaussing hard drives, back up-tapes, etc.  We offer on-site hard drive degaussing services as well as disk degaussing in our highly secure facility.   For customers requiring destruction of classified materials, degaussing hard drives then shredding them is the only NSA approved solution.  Our hard drive degausser is the HD-1T which is the NSA approved hard drive degausser for purging classified media.  This two-step process of degaussing disks then shredding satisfies all DoD regulations and guidelines

Hard disc degaussing services can be overseen by our customers, recorded to DVD, monitored remotely via dedicated IP address or overseen and verified by personnel with a secret-level security clearance.   Though we are certified by the Defense Logistics Information Service to store and transport military critical technical information, our on-site service allows our customers to watch our process of degaussing harddrives right at their own facility. Our unique process along with cleared personnel provides the highest level of security.
