We are often asked what we have to do to securely delete data. The answer is simple. Either send the data device to a specialist Data Wiper, use specialist software or smash the item to pieces.
With the WEEE laws and general environmental common sense, it is financially logical to recycle the storage device and allow use of it again. To do this, it is imperative that the data is wiped correctly. Data can be recovered even if it has been deleted, deleted from the recycle bin, formatted, 'Fdisked' and in some instances, even when data has been overwritten.
Disklabs Data Recovery and Computer Forensics Services are able to offer you a secure data wiping as they are in the field of recovering data. Their Data Recovery service is so highly skilled that they can be sure to retrieve data where ever it is recoverable. US DOD5220.22 is an often used standard which the US Department of Defense states that data is no longer retrievable. Our Data Wiping standard although not exactly the same, produces the same results.
When our data wiping is completed, simply put, nothing will retrieve the data. There won't be a chance of recovery, using commercial data recovery tools, or even computer forensics tools. We finish our wiping procedures with what is known as a zero fill. This completes our procedures by overwriting the disk with zero's, making sure that all data is comprehensively destroyed.
To protect your organization's confidential data or your personal privacy, trust on Disklabs Security as a hard drive cleansing solution. To maximize security, Disklabs Security offers up to 9 fully configurable overwrite passes and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) standard for hard drive sanitization as specified in the 5220.22-M operating manual.
