5 Crypto Levels by intimus... In keeping with the high-speed development of the IT world, digital data carriers are becoming increasingly important. 50 years ago, most sensitive information was recorded only on paper – today, a large and growing variety of digital media present a new challenge in secure data disposal. Governments around the world have been working to define standards and guidelines regarding the secure deletion of information on data carriers – and each individual nation is free to enact its own legislation. Among the most influential new international standards are the British Standard BS 8470:2006, NSA / CSS and DIN 32 757, and the brand new European Union standard, EN 15 713. Many countries worldwide use these well-known standards as the basis for their own rules and regulations. In this new world of competing, conflicting information assurance standards, where should an IT executive look for reliable equipment and advice This is where Crypto Levels by intimus reside: with our experience and expertise developed over 50 years in the business, we have formed a concept that brings all major standards under one roof. intimus Crypto Matrix Crypto Level 8 9 10 11 Hard Copy Storage < 10 mm² < 5 mm² < 3.5 mm² < 1 mm² European Standard EN 15 713 DIN 32 757 BS 8470:2006 NSA/CSS 02-01 NIST Special Publication 800-88 NATO SDIP-293 Optical Media < 10 mm² < 5 mm² < 3.5 mm² < 1 mm² European Standard EN 15 713 DIN 32 757 BS 8470:2006 NSA/CSS 04-02 NIST Special Publication 800-88 NATO SDIP-293 Magnetic Media Tape < 2,800 oe > 2,800 oe Physical Physical HDD < 5,000 oe > 5,000 oe Destruction Destruction DIN 33 858 European Standard EN 15 713 BS 8470:2006 NSA/CSS NIST Special Publication 800-88 NATO SDIP-293 Solid State Media < 10 mm² < 5 mm² < 3.5 mm² < 1 mm² European Standard EN 15 713 BS 8470:2006 NSA/CSS 02-01 NIST Special Publication 800-88 NATO SDIP-293 meets the standard exceeds the standard
...for Secret and Top Secret Requirements European Standard EN 15 713 Released in 2009, this regulation now sets a European standard for information assurance. Replacing the former DIN 32 757 and BS 8470:2006, it defines requirements for mechanical secure destruction of confidential material in 8 security levels. High security data destruction happens at level 8 with a particle size of in average 10 mm² and a maximum width of 0.8 mm. Particle surface: < 10 mm² DIN 32 757-1 For almost 30 years the internationally recognised DIN was the guideline for data security. In total it defined 5 security levels. The top level 5 specified a maximum particle size of 10 square millimeters for indecipherable shredding of obsolete data storage media. This equals over 6,000 individual particles for one sheet of A4 format paper. DIN 32 757-1 does not adress optical media destruction. British Standard BS 8470:2006 BS 8470:2006 gives recommendations for the management and control of collection, transportation and destruction of confidential material to ensure that such material is disposed of securely and safely. The recommendations apply to a company’s main business premises and any holding sites. Particle surface: < 10 mm² DIN 33 858 This German standard refers to the erasure of data stored on magnetic media. It defines the minimum requirements for erasing devices and gives guidelines for the field strength that needs to be used according to the type of data carrier being destroyed. This field strength ranges from 350 up to 5,000 Oe on three levels. NATO SDIP-293 Within the military alliance of NATO this standard gives rules for destruction of obsolete media. These items are split up into paper and non-paper material. Main methods for destruction are shredding, burning, disintegrating, smelting or degaussing. Particle surface paper shredding: 5 mm² NSA/CSS Specification 02-01 To protect national security, military and government agencies the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) released a standard for paper shredders in 2003. NSA/CSS Specification 02-01 outlines the required shred size for document paper cross cut shredders for government agencies disposing of Top Secret or classified documents. Particle surface: < 5 mm² NIST Special Publication 800-88 While NSA / CSS gives rules for U.S. military or government agencies, this publication released in 2006 gives guidelines for media sanitization in U.S. commercial organizations. Unlike most of the other standards it covers a large scope of media primarily split into two groups: Hard copy and electronic. The guideline deals with the trends in data storage media and how the information can be deleted efficiently by means of shredding, disintegration, pulverization or even incineration.
