Why is Complete Data Destruction Necessary?

Understanding the Effective Comparison of Normal Deletion and Data Wipe Utility

data wiping in easy steps

Standard File Deletion

In general, the structure of information stored in a drive or disk is categorized in the form of ones and zeros - fundamentals of basic cell binary data. While pasting or writing data on your drive such as text, zip files, folders, hard disk, etc. - a row of 0's and 1's are created.

Now, when you delete using manual or physical deletion those ones and zeros are not erased, rather pointers to that data are being removed. As a result, this paves the way for retrieval of deleted data (Data Remanence) easily. One other option is manual deletion is formatting, even that too does not actually permanently erase data.

VS

data erasure - a best choice

Specialized Orientation

By using Data Wipe Software, user can permanently erase data without damaging the drive or disk physically. It employs the latest data wiping technology to erase all the binary data registered as basic 0's and 1's by overwriting with new data.

To achieve this, we have different passes available like: NATO Standard (7 Passes), Russian - GOST-R-50739-95 (3 Passes), and many more. This makes sure that the impossibility of recovery from a wiped storage device. Data destruction software supports all necessary passes.

What's Inside the Tool Package

Advanced Wiping Algorithms Premium + Military Grade

Types of Data Destruction to Erase Data Across Drives, Devices & Multiple Platforms

Baseline Overwrite Pass Techniques

zero pass

Zero (1 Pass)

This is the most basic form of data destruction, consisting of a way to overwrite the hard drive or storage medium with zeros in a single pass. It does this by creating new data over the old data, which generally means that the old data cannot be recovered by readily available recovery tools, but advanced forensic recovery tools can still recover the data remnants.

random 1 pass

Random (1 Pass)

This type of overwrite writes random characters or binary values to the storage medium in a single pass. Random overwriting is a little better as it adds some randomness, but it is still a straightforward security measure.

biwipe simple

Simple (1 Pass)

A simple wipe typically involves overwriting every sector on the drive once, using either zeros, random data, or a combination of the two. This is a quick and straightforward process, ideal for less sensitive information where the risks of recovery are low.

DoD-Compliant Multi-Pass Overwriting Procedures

US DoD data wipe

US DoD / US Air Force (3 Passes)

The US DoD / US Air Force (3 Passes) data-erasing algorithm is widely recognized as a secure way for data wiping. It consists of 3 passes, in the very first pass all the data is overwritten by random zeros. After that in the second pass data is again overwritten by all "ones". Finally, with a random pattern so that data is not recovered instead with advanced techniques.

US DoD 5220.22-M

U.S. DoD 5220.22-M (3 Passes)

The U.S. Department of Defense developed this standard, which should consist of three passes to overwrite the data (one with 0, one with a series of 1s, and another pass with random data). As a result, it offers a good balance between security and efficiency, protection against most recovery methods, while not consuming too much time.

british hmg is5

British HMG IS5 (3 Passes)

This data sanitization format is standardized by the UK government. This usually means you’ll need to overwrite the storage three times with specific patterns minimum, to comply with government-level standards. Moreover, it protects your data from professional recovery tools.

Forensic-Grade Data Elimination Standards

Peter Gutmann data wipe

Peter Gutmann (35 Passes)

This is one of the most secure and exhaustive wiping algorithms, using 35 separate overwrite passes with a combination of random and predetermined patterns. It was designed back in the 90s (when hard disks used different encoding types). Therefore, for today’s drives, this level is considered the most extreme, although it still offers the most secure level of data wiping assurance.

GOST R 50739-95 level wipe

GOST R 50739-95 (3 Passes)

This advanced algorithm for data wipe solution is an extremely secure and advanced approach. Within this approach, the data is rewritten by a random pattern in 35 passes. Users can choose this algorithm within this data wipe software to get the best level of data disposal from our end.

NATO Standards level wipe

NATO Standards (7 Passes)

A NATO-approved wiping procedure that requires seven overwrite passes using different combinations of zeros, ones, and random data. It will offer a good mix of speed and safety, because the data can only be certified unrecoverable even after an expensive forensic techniques.

Where Data Erasure Matters

Typical Scenarios for Different User Groups

Discover When Individuals and Organizations Rely on Secure Data Erasure

Personal Users – Confidential and Private Information

Erasing a file is not enough to ensure that the data cannot be recovered using recovery tools. Users with confidential documents, photos, or financial information should use secure data wiping software. Permanent deletion of such sensitive files also makes sure that their data is not accessible to other people.

Auditors & Accountants – Financial Records and Compliance

Auditors and accounting professionals handle regulated financial data/information, including GAAP, SOX, IRS, SEC, and many other standards. Data wiping software provides a secure method to remove financial databases, spreadsheets, and records when systems are replaced or retired.

Developers – Protecting Proprietary Source Code

The source code created by developers is often sensitive in nature, which entails a potential loss of millions of dollars or, worse still, an invaluable piece of intellectual property. Some code snippets will still exist even when the project is finished, and they can remain on devices.

Security Firms – Erasure of CCTV and Surveillance Footage

CCTV surveillance regimes generate enormous plantations of sensitive video, audio and image files collected by security firms and organizations using CCTV systems. But retaining this data without time limits may be an infringement of privacy law. Data wiping solutions enable firms to permanently erase old surveillance videos.
