Frequently Asked Questions
What is an enclosed destruction cart and why do I need one?
An enclosed destruction cart is a self-contained system that safely degausses and destroys sensitive storage media in-house. Organizations use destruction carts to maintain control over their data destruction process, ensure compliance with data protection regulations, reduce costs associated with third-party destruction services, and maintain complete documentation of media destruction for audit purposes.
Can the IRONCLAD destroy both hard drives and SSDs?
Yes, the EDC-1XT5SSD IRONCLAD is designed to destroy multiple types of media including traditional hard drives, solid-state drives (SSDs), magnetic tape cartridges, and other solid-state media. The system uses degaussing technology for magnetic media and physical destruction capabilities for all device types.
How does degaussing work for data destruction?
Degaussing uses powerful magnetic fields to neutralize the magnetic properties of storage media, rendering data unrecoverable. This method is particularly effective for hard drives and magnetic tape. The IRONCLAD's integrated degaussing technology ensures complete data erasure while the verification tools confirm successful destruction.
Is the Garner IRONCLAD compliant with data protection regulations?
The EDC-1XT5SSD IRONCLAD is designed to support compliance with major data protection standards including HIPAA, GDPR, and DoD requirements. The system provides audit trail capabilities and documentation features to help organizations maintain compliance records and demonstrate proper data destruction procedures.
