The virtual data erasure process begins with an Enterprise Storage Expert (ESE), remotely logging into a secure remote access terminal (with access to the desired date storage). Once logged on, our ESE will download & install the erasure software and carry out the desired level of erasure service. Once the erasure is complete, the ESE will produce a Certificate of Erasure. The Certificate of Erasure lists each of the erased serial numbers (if available), the method of erasure and a pass/fail to let you know whether or not the drives were erased and verified in accordance with the state, government and industry regulatory standards.

In addition to the Certificate of Erasure, our ESE’s can also provide (upon request) raw data in XLS, XML or CSV format for use in your data base. This extra step can help you integrate the erasure data into your asset database, aid in your preparation for a security audit and shows proof of erasure.

As a result of governmental regulatory requirements, data destruction has become a top priority and a mandatory component of most security policies. Corporations must put in place plans to securely erase data or physically destroy it. Selecting the right erasure service provider can be key in formulating your company’s security policy.

We are a master service provider for over two dozen storage OEMs, VARs, E-Cyclers and Asset Management/Disposition companies that offer erasure services but lack the infrastructure and expertise to offer this service.
