Certified Data Wiping and Data Erasure Services

Deleting files or formatting a drive does not remove data. We erase every drive with verified software to the NIST SP 800-88 media sanitisation guideline, check the result, and issue a certificate tied to each serial number, so you can prove the data is gone.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is NIST SP 800-88?

NIST Special Publication 800-88 is the US guideline for media sanitisation, widely used worldwide. It defines three levels: Clear, Purge and Destroy. Revision 2 was published in September 2025.

Is data wiping included when you buy our equipment?

Yes. Certified wiping is included in every buyback. It is also available as a standalone paid service.

Can you wipe phones and tablets?

Yes, with mobile erasure software and a certificate per IMEI or serial number.

Is wiping as secure as shredding?

Verified erasure makes recovery infeasible and lets the device be reused. Shredding is used for failed drives or when your policy requires physical destruction.
