Explanation

The most likely security issue with degaussing is that the degausser products may not be properly maintained and operated. Degaussing is a method of sanitizing magnetic media, such as hard disk drives, by applying a strong magnetic field that erases the data stored on the media. Degaussing can be effective in destroying the data, but it requires that the degausser products are calibrated, tested, and used according to the manufacturer's specifications and instructions. If the degausser products are not properly maintained and operated, they may not generate a sufficient magnetic force to erase the data completely, or they may damage the media or the device. Commercial products often have serious weaknesses of the magnetic force available in the degausser product, the inability to turn the drive around in the chamber for the second pass due to human error, and inadequate record keeping when sanitizing media are not the most likely security issues with degaussing, as they are related to the quality, the technique, or the documentation of the degaussing process, not the maintenance or the operation of the degausser
