When organizations retire storage media, data erasure is not optional—it is a critical security requirement. DES Technologies provides professional data erasure services designed to permanently remove sensitive information from hard drives and enterprise tape media while maintaining strict compliance with regulatory and security standards.
Our process protects your organization from data breaches, regulatory fines, and reputational risk, all while supporting responsible IT asset disposition.
What Is Data Erasure?
Data erasure, also referred to as data wiping, is the process of securely overwriting all existing data on a storage device so it cannot be recovered by any known method. Unlike simple deletion or formatting, certified data erasure targets every addressable sector of the media and verifies the results.
When performed correctly, data erasure allows storage devices to be safely reused, resold, or recycled without exposing sensitive information.
At DES Technologies, our data erasure services align with recognized industry standards, including NIST Special Publication 800-88 and DoD 5220.22-M, ensuring defensible, audit-ready results.
