Degaussing Service in India

Outsource the destruction and keep the evidence. We bring Proton degaussers and crushers to your site, sanitise and physically destroy your media, and hand back a signed destruction register and certificate.

On site

We come to you

Media should leave your site as little as possible. We bring the machine to your data centre, branch, campus or site and run the batch in your presence.

Evidence

Signed destruction register

One row per asset — tag, serial, media, machine, per-cycle verification, operator and your custodian's signature. This is the document that answers an auditor.

Complete

Degauss, crush, dispose

Magnetic media degaussed then crushed, flash and optical shredded, and the scrap handed to an authorised e-waste recycler with documentation.

1. When a service makes more sense than buying

Buying a degausser is straightforward economics when you destroy media regularly. It is not straightforward when:

  • You destroy a handful of drives a year. A machine would sit idle, and you would still need periodic verification to keep the compliance claim alive.
  • You have a one-off project. A data centre floor refresh, a branch consolidation, a hardware refresh, a merger integration.
  • You have several sites. Centralising destruction at one hub may be a better security posture than installing a machine at every branch.
  • You need to close an audit finding quickly. A witnessed destruction run with a signed register is a faster answer than a procurement cycle.
  • You want to avoid capital budget entirely. The service is an operating expense.

2. What we need from you

  1. An asset list with tag or serial number and media type. If you do not have one, we will build it on site.
  2. Access to the media, and a standard 230 V socket near the work area.
  3. A custodian from your side who can sign the register — this matters for banks and regulated clients.
  4. Custody rules if the media cannot leave a secure area, or must be escorted.
  5. Any exclusions — leased equipment that must be returned intact, or media under legal hold.

3. What you get back

5. What we do not do

Two things are worth stating plainly, because they come up in enquiries:

  • We do not resell hardware. We have no resale arm and no incentive to route your media into a second-hand channel. Sanitised and crushed media goes to scrap.
  • We do not batch-register. Every asset gets its own row. This is slower and it is the entire point.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions Indian buyers ask most often. Cannot find yours? Call us — we answer technical questions on the phone.

What does your degaussing service include?
On-site degaussing of hard drives, server drives and tapes using a Proton machine, per-cycle verification, a signed destruction register against your asset list, and physical crushing of the sanitised media. You receive the register and a certificate; the scrap is handed to an authorised e-waste recycler.
Can you destroy media at our site?
Yes. On-site destruction is our standard model precisely because media should travel as little as possible. We bring the machine, power requirement is a standard 230 V socket, and we run the batch in your presence.
Do you handle failed and unrecognisable drives?
Yes, and this is a large part of the value. Failed drives are the media a software wipe or a shredder often cannot handle, and a degausser sanitises them identically to healthy drives.
What do you need from us to start?
An asset list with tag or serial numbers and media types, access to the media, a point of contact to sign the register, and any custody or access requirements for your building. If you have no asset list we can build one on site.
How is the work priced?
Per drive or per media type, with a minimum batch charge and travel. Flash and unusual items are priced separately because they take longer and consume shredder capacity.
Are your machines verified?
Yes. Our Proton machines are maintained under AMC with periodic field-strength verification, and we will share the current verification certificate for the machine used on your job.
