- Degaussing machines may not produce a strong enough magnetic field to destroy all of the data.
- In most cases, degaussing is a third party process.
- Since the degaussing process disables the hard drive, there is no way to test the process to ensure that the data is gone.
- Depends on the extent to which the disks have been shredded.
- Depends on the method used by Third Party Provider.
- Handing off drives to a Third Party does not absolve legal responsibility.
- Third Party Providers usually establish set pick-up schedules. The interim periods create internal storage and security challenges.
