Securely Wiping Your Hard Drive Protects You from Data Recovery

Simply deleting files or even formating your drive doesn't mean the data is gone. It can still be recovered using freely-available software tools. Only by overwriting the data can you ensure it's permanently and securely erased. WipeDrive has been certified by the NSA to show that when you wipe hard drive data with WipeDrive is forensically unrecoverable.

WipeDrive's 3 Pass Wipe Completely Erases Your Hard Drive

For extra assurance your data is gone you can wipe hard drive data multiple times. WipeDrive provides several wipe patterns including the DoD 5220.22-M wipe pattern used by many branches of the U.S. Government.

What is WipeDrive?

WipeDrive is the world leader in secure data destruction. WipeDrive allows corporations and government entities to permanently and securely erase data from hard drives, removable media, and mobile devices, providing a cost-effective, secure, and socially responsible way of recycling and retiring computer storage.

The world’s most highly-certified wiping software

WipeDrive is the only wiping software in the world that meets NIAP’s EAL4+ security standard and is approved by the U.S. Department of Defense. According to the NSA, data deleted with WipeDrive is “permanently destroyed as to make any type of forensic data recovery impossible.”

WipeDrive meets or exceeds all major national and international regulatory and technical standards including:

• Sarbanes-Oxley
• HIPAA
• Common Criteria Evaluation
• FACTA standards
• NIAP’s EAL4+ security standard
• U.S. Department of Defense 5220.22-M
• CSEC ITSG-06

How can I use WipeDrive?

• Manage your corporate storage hardware end-of-life cycle.
• Multiple deployment methods allow you to wipe storage on individual computers, via a PXE configuration, or remotely.
• Erase drives on computers in branch or remote locations before moving them.

Major IT shift from physical destruction to software wiping

Most fortune 500 companies still physically destroy their hard drives. This archaic and UN-environmental form of data destruction pulverizes drives into dust. Sure the data is gone but there are major downsides to grinding when compared to wiping your data.

WipeDrive is the only wiping software in the world certified to NIAP’s EAL4+ criteria. Certified by the Common Criteria Standard, WipeDrive meets most major national and international certifications and standards. Simply put, it’s the best wiping technology available today.

Wipe SSDs (Solid State Drives)

Need to wipe solid state drives? For over two years WipeDrive has been a market leader in comprehensively wiping SSD drives by removing security freeze locks to ensure there are no hidden or locked areas of the drive that are missed. Erasing SSDs is a priority for many companies because they retain their value better than traditional platter hard drives allowing them to re-coupe part of their cost or re-use the drives internally. WipeDrive can wipe any SSD drive that is free from manufacturer defects.
