Companies go to great lengths to protect their data from network intrusions, hacking, viruses, and theft. However, many fail to protect against the disastrous consequences of data security breaches from stored, stockpiled, donated, resold, discarded, and recycled magnetic and solid-state media that they thought was deleted, erased or secured through overwriting or encryption technology.
What We Do
At Garner, we design, manufacture, and sell equipment that delivers complete, permanent, and verifiable data elimination. Our products ensure your data is unrecoverable. Founded more than 50 years ago, we serve government and business customers from every industry sector in countries around the world, providing time-tested solutions for permanent data security of working and nonworking hard drives, magnetic tape, and solid-state media through products that include:
- Independently tested and certified degaussing equipment that completely eliminates all data on magnetic tapes, hard drives, and even old floppy disks by altering the media’s magnetic properties
- NSA/CSS EPL-listed destruction equipment that bends, breaks and mangles hard drives deterring any attempt to recover data
- Patented solid-state destroyer with 90 spikes to puncture, perforate, and waffle media, demolishing the individual memory chips so data cannot be retrieved.
We offer equipment rental and data destruction services for small businesses, economical degaussers and destroyers for small- to mid-size companies, and NSA/CSS EPL-listed equipment that meets the data security requirements of multinational enterprises, government contractors and the United States government.
Garner TS-1 Hard Drive & Tape Degausser
Highly sensitive classified and top-secret data demands the ultimate erasing power of our TS-1 Hard Drive & Tape Degausser. Listed on the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List (EPL) for erasure of top-secret data, the TS-1 generates an evenly distributed 20,000 gauss (2 Tesla) magnetic field. The TS-1 delivers maximum erasure to every area of the drive or tape, no matter how drives or tapes are oriented in the media drawer. The TS-1 also comes with a USB port so that you can take advantage of our optional SCAN-1 scanner and software package to create an audit-worthy media destruction report as you degauss.
Compliant
Listed on the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List (EPL) for Hard Drive Degaussers. Meets the toughest standards for erasing hard drive and tape media containing U.S. government classified top-secret data, as well as all other government and industry mandated standards for data elimination prior to reuse or disposal.
Certified
Independently tested and certified to meet CE and ANSI standards for safety and compatibility worldwide.
Versatile
Erases the highest-coercivity magnetic media made, including perpendicular and longitudinal laptop, desktop, and network drives up to 1.25 in. high and 5,000 Oe, as well as 3,000 high-coercivity tape media—without adapters.
Fast
The 45-second erasure cycle and continuous-duty rating, with no cooling required, allow you to quickly and permanently erase magnetic media containing the most sensitive top-secret data.
Permanent Erasure of Top-Secret Data
Uniformly distributed 20,000-gauss power magnetically erases a wide selection of high-coercivity hard drives and tapes, ensuring top-secret classified data can never be recovered. Magnetic erasure also means there’s no software to buy, update, or upgrade. And the TS-1 technology used to erase magnetic hard drives and tape media will never become obsolete due to software or driver modifications. The TS-1 is the ultimate solution for permanent erasure.
Degauss vs. Overwrite
The TS-1 uses our proven solid-state technology to generate a high-powered erasure field that’s far superior to the fields produced by the read/write heads in hard drives and tape drives. The 20,000-gauss field uniformly delivers erasing power to every area of the media in a way that software-based wiping can’t begin to match. Unlike overwriting that requires a physical connection to the hard drive, such as a cable, the TS-1 erases data on working and nonworking hard drives. Degaussing technology also makes the TS-1 software independent, so that you can completely and permanently erase any magnetic hard drive or tape, regardless of the operating system or interface.
Secure and Compliant
The TS-1 will help you satisfy the most stringent government and industry standards, including:
- California Senate Bill 1386
- FCC
- GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act)
- HIPAA (Health Information Portability and Accountability Act)
- NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) Guidelines for Media Sanitization
- NIST SP 800-36
- NIST SP 800-88r1
- NSA/CSS/DoD Top Secret
- PCI DSS 3.2 (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)
- PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act)
NSA/CSS Listed. Laboratory Tested.
To be added to the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List (EPL), degaussers are laboratory tested to ensure complete erasure to the level required for U.S. government classified top-secret data.
International Standards
The TS-1 is independently tested and certified to meet CE and ANSI standards for safety and compatibility worldwide. The TS-1 meets NSA and NATO top-secret data requirements.
Garner TS-1 Destroyer
The high-speed, high-powered PD-5 is the fastest and lightest NSA/CSS EPL-listed hard drive destroyer on the market. The PD-5 meets evolving technology challenges by increasing the speed, amplifying the crushing power, and offering an optional SSD-1 solid-state destroyer that both perforates and waffles solid-state media, flash drives, USB thumb drives, and SSHD controller boards.
Compliant
Listed on the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List (EPL) for Hard Drive Bending Devices. Meets the toughest standards for bending hard drives containing U.S. government classified top-secret data, as well as all other government and industry standards for data destruction prior to disposal.
Media Versatility
Destroys laptop, standard, and full-height hard drives. The optional SSD-1 allows you to expand the range of media destroyed to include solid-state drives laptop drives, flash drives, USB thumb drives, and SSHD controller boards.
Total Destruction
Delivers approximately 15,500 pounds of crushing power to hard drives. When used with the optional SSD-1, 90 pins pierce solid-state media from top and bottom, causing both perforation and waffling, which destroy the individual memory chips.
Incredibly Fast
High-torque sensing technology allows the crushing wedge to zoom quickly to locate the media then increases torque to maximize crushing power, delivering total destruction in 18 seconds or less. It’s fast enough to meet the Department of Defense emergency-destruction guidelines and requires no cool down between cycles.
Versatile
Requires no adapters to destroy hard drives up to 4.5 inches (113 mm) wide by 6.5 inches (165 mm) deep by 2.25 inches (50 mm) high, including network SCSI and IDE drives. Allows you to specify voltage options when ordering for international locations. The optional SSD-1 expands your capabilities to include solid state drives and flash media.
High capacity
Destroys up to eight laptop drives, two standard 1-inch hard drives, or one full-height hard drive during each destruction cycle. The optional SSD-1 handles one standard solid-state drive, one SSHD controller board, or mulitiple flash and USB thumb drives fit into the SSD-1 destruction chamber.
The next generation of data destruction
As data technology evolves, data destruction technology must too. The PD-5 with optional SSD-1 meets the challenge by delivering high-speed, high-powered destruction across the spectrum of today’s commonly used data-storage media. The PD-5 operates as a standalone unit or as part of a complete degauss-and-destroy system, when paired with our NSA/CSS EPL-listed TS-1 degausser, feature-filled HD-3WXL degausser or budget-friendly HD-2.
Garner PD-5 vs. Hydraulics
