- We can wipe all areas of a storage media with software allowing it to be re-used or re-sold without breaching data security.
Basic Wiping Standard
- Our standard service offers a US DoD 3 times overwrite. This can be conducted over the whole drive, unallocated space or over specific files or folders. Many data destruction companies only sell the US DoD standard for destroying data and sell the US DoD standards as the 'be all and end all' service. Whilst it will render the data un-recoverable by simplistic software it is NOT recommended for extremely sensitive data and is considered an insecure method for destroying the most sensitive data.
- Examples of use - Reselling home PC's that do not contain
sensitive data, re-selling hard disks on Internet auction sites.
Advanced Wiping Standard
- We can use software certified by CESG to wipe storage media with a classification of upto Top Secret. This standard surpasses the 'US DoD' standard for wiping data.
- Examples of use - Reselling home PC's that contain
sensitive data, re-selling hard disks on Internet auction sites, moving
PC's between corporate departments.
