VS Security Product’s range of pulse technology degaussers now with an erasure logging system

VS Security Products has designed a new unique feature to their state of the art pulse technology degaussers – Erasure Log Software. This revolutionary new feature provides an audit trail and media destruction record of all essential degaussing information relating to the erasure of each hard disk drive or backup tape including: the media details; degausser type; the operating company and the operator. It provides verification and documentation of all media degaussed and gives an immediate degaussing audit trail.

VS Security Product’s reputation for the design and manufacture of world class degaussers is second to none. The audit trail Erasure Log Software, designed exclusively for the DataGauss, DATAGONE and SDD Master range of pulse technology degaussers, provide companies with extra peace of mind and hard copy evidence that a device has been securely erased.


The printable Media Destruction Record details: company information (including company, operator and supervisor names and whether the device is degaussed on or off site); media owner information (company name and department); media information (type, serial number, capacity, part number, security classification, remarks); degausser details (date/time, type of degausser, model, serial number, firmware version, number of cycles); destruction details (capacitor voltage, magnetic field gauss, result).


These unique degaussers are supplied with a software disk and a USB cable, for connecting a PC or laptop to the degausser. There is also an optional bar code scanner for fast data input.


David Tucker, Managing Director of VS Security Products said: ‘We have been manufacturing and supplying degaussers for over 30 years. Our customers demand first class products and I am proud to have developed this excellent reporting software that is built into our robust and efficient pulse technology degausser range. The Erasure Logging capability will be available on our DataGauss and DATAGONE range (denoted by a ‘LG’ suffix) and standard on our NSA approved SDD Master.
As a Managing Director, I know how important it is for companies to be able to provide a thorough history and audit trail to enable accountability and that is why we have developed this brand new feature. We build all our degaussers at our manufacturing facility and I demand high standards to ensure our customers receive the best product on the market.’


The degausser audit trail Erasure Log Feature is available on VS Security Product’s pulse technology models: DataGauss LG (a Continuous Duty, single pass operation for hard disk drives and backup tapes), DataGauss XL-LG (same as the DataGauss LG but with a degaussing chamber that accommodates extra large (full height hard disk drives and backup tapes), DATAGONE LG (a fully automatic, high volume single pass operation for hard disk drives and back-up tapes) and the SDD Master (a NSA approved Maximum Security Degausser for hard disk drives and back-up tapes).
