secure deletion of data from magnetic tapes
The process of eliminating magnetization on a media is called degaussing (the unit of measure of magnetic inductive force is the gauss, named for mathematician Karl Friedrich Gauss).As a special
service we offer to degauss all magnetic media with complete
reliability and confidentiality.
The magnetization of the media will be reduced up to –90db - after
which data can't be reconstructed. Accredited by NATO for security
measures under number 5836-99-500-5299 (60Hz) und Nr.
5836-99-591-3345 (50Hz) und Din 33858.
The content of the media devices is never read, copied or analyzed in any manner. If desired, we can degauss the media at your site.

It is named after
Carl Friedrich Gauss, an early researcher in the field of magnetism.
Due to magnetic hysteresis it is generally not possible to reduce a
magnetic field completely to zero, so degaussing typically induces a
very small "known" field referred to as bias.
