Why Certification Matters
Permanently Remove Data, Making Any Data Recovery Impossible
There is a significant difference between software claiming to comply with standards and the National Security Agency (NSA) actually certifying compliance. We don’t believe our customers should have to verify that our software does what we claim, so we are Certified by NIAP to EAL 4, higher than any other software wiping tool. Our software was designed with our most risk-adverse customers' input to create a disk wiping tool that is highly effiecient and provides the greatest security available.
Wipe Hard Drives Securely to Keep Your Organization's Data Safe
Securely Wiping Your Hard Drive Protects You from Data Theft
Simply deleting files or even formatting your drive doesn't mean the data is gone. It can still be recovered using freely-available software tools. Only by overwriting the data can you ensure it's permanently and securely erased. WipeDrive has been certified by the NSA as wiping software that makes data forensically unrecoverable.
WipeDrive's 3 Pass Wipe Completely Erases Your Hard Drive
For extra assurance your data is gone you can wipe hard drive data multiple times. WipeDrive provides several wipe patterns including the DoD 5220.22-M wipe pattern used by many branches of the U.S. Government.

Erase Hard Drives With WipeDrive
Completely Erase Your Hard Drive for Information Security
WipeDrive erases 100% of your data, operating system and programs. Erased data is impossible to recover, even with the most advanced tools. According to the NSA, data erased by WipeDrive "is permanently destroyed as to make any type of forensic data recovery impossible."

Wipe SSDs (Solid State Drives)
Need to wipe solid state drives? Since 2011, WipeDrive has been a market leader in comprehensively wiping SSD drives by removing security freeze locks to ensure there are no hidden or locked areas of the drive that are missed.

WipeDrive can wipe any SSD drive that is free from manufacturer defects.
Wipe Copiers
