Data sanitisation is the process of deliberately, permanently and irreversibly removing or destroying the data stored on a memory device to make it unrecoverable. The Data Sanitisation software verifies that once stored data no longer exists.
A device that has been sanitised has no usable residual data, and even with the assistance of advanced forensic tools, the data will never be recovered.
All Hard Disk Drives (HDD) and Solid State Disks (SSD) are data sanitised using White Canyon overwriting software. White Canyon WipdeDrive is approved for all mechanical drives and is also approved for SSDs.
WipeDrive has received certification from the British National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) Commercial Product Assurance scheme (CPA) for data sanitisation. This certification process involved fifteen months of in-depth testing and evaluation of the WipeDrive software.
A certificate is produced for every successfully erased drive, including the drive’s make, model, and serial number.
Any hard drive that fails the data sanitisation process for any reason is degaussed and physically destroyed on-site at National IT Disposal.
Physical destruction renders storage media completely unusable, this is achieved by shredding or crushing. Physical destruction makes data unreadable by destroying the component on which it is held, ensuring that it cannot be recovered.
