Data Erasure & Secure Data Sanitization

In the digital era, data is a valuable asset that must be securely managed—not only while in use but also when it is no longer needed. Improper data deletion can lead to sensitive information leaks, regulatory violations, and significant security risks.

 

📌 Data Erasure & Secure Data Sanitization ensure that outdated or unused data is permanently removed beyond recovery, using methods that comply with global security standards.

No solution Data Erasure & Secure Data Sanitization, organizations face the following challenges:

Unauthorized Data Recovery

Files that are conventionally deleted can still be recovered using data recovery software.
Regulatory Violations & Non-Compliance

Failure to meet compliance standards such as ISO 27001, GDPR, PCI DSS, and PDP Laws can lead to hefty fines.
Insider & Third-Party Attacks

Data that is not securely deleted can be exploited by insiders or external parties.
Data Security on Sold/Recycle Devices

Storage devices such as HDDs, SSDs, servers, and mobile devices can become sources of data leaks if not properly wiped before disposal.

Key Features & Capabilities
Data Erasure & Secure Data Sanitization ensure complete destruction and compliance with regulations.
Show Details
a. Certified Data Erasure
  • Permanent Data Deletion: Permanently delete data using tested algorithms that make it unrecoverable.
  • Compliance with Standards: Meets security standards such as NIST 800-88, DoD 5220.22-M, ISO 27040, and GDPR.
b. Secure Wiping for All Storage Types
  • Data Wiping Across Storage Devices: Supports data deletion on HDDs, SSDs, NVMe, USB drives, servers, tape storage, and mobile devices.
  • Method-Based Wiping: Uses different methods based on the storage type to ensure effective data erasure.
c. Automated & Remote Data Erasure
  • Remote Data Erasure: Enables remote wiping to manage security across endpoints and cloud storage.
  • Scheduled Erasure: Provides scheduled deletion for devices that are no longer in use.
d. Cryptographic Erasure & File Shredding
  • Encryption-Based Data Erasure: Uses encryption algorithms to scramble data before deletion, ensuring it cannot be decrypted.
  • File Shredding: Ensures granular deletion for specific documents or folders.
e. Detailed Audit Logs & Compliance Reporting
  • Audit Logs: Provides automatic reports and forensic logs as evidence of data deletion.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Helps organizations meet audit and regulatory compliance requirements.

How It Works
How Data Erasure and Secure Data Sanitization Work to Protect Against Data Leaks and Breaches:
Show Details
a. Data Identification & Risk Assessment
  • The system identifies data to be erased based on company policies.
  • Determines erasure methods based on storage type and applicable regulations.
b. Secure Erasure Process
  • Data is deleted using encryption algorithms or multi-pass wiping methods.
  • For specific devices, a secure overwrite process is conducted to ensure data cannot be recovered.
c. Verification & Integrity Check
  • The system performs post-erasure validation to ensure data is completely gone.
  • Generates hash checksums or cryptographic verification as proof of data erasure authenticity.
d. Audit Logs & Compliance Reporting
  • All erasure processes are documented in automated reports.
  • Data is stored in an auditable format to meet regulatory compliance requirements.
