Certifications

Independently certified.

Every product we ship is certified. Which method runs is your decision — the software supports the full published range, and issues the drive's own firmware commands where the hardware supports them.

ADISA certified

All of our products carry ADISA certification. ADISA is the independent assurance scheme for data sanitisation used across the European ITAD industry, and certification is granted on the results of independent testing.

Standards and frameworks

What we work to, beyond our vendors' certification.

Erasure sits inside a wider compliance picture. These are the schemes and regulations that shape how the software behaves and how the evidence it produces has to read.

ISO/IEC
27001Information security management

Overwriting standards

Fourteen published methods.

Pick per job, per customer or per contract. The method used is written into the certificate for that device.

Drive-native commands

Where the drive can erase itself, it does.

Overwriting is not always the right instrument. On SSD and NVMe media the controller can sanitise internally — faster, and without the write amplification that overwriting a solid-state drive causes.

Evidence

A certificate for every device.

Not one document per batch. Each device — or each drive, on the loose-drive line — produces its own record naming the method that ran against it.

Sample certificateA redacted example of the document a completed device produces is available on request. Ask for it in your first call and we will send one before you commit to anything.

Which standard does your contract name?

If it is on the list we run it. If it is not, tell us and we will say plainly whether we can.
