Hard Drive Data Eraser

Hard Drive Data Eraser

Data destruction software, sometimes called data sanitisation software, disk wipe software, or hard drive eraser software, is a software-based method of completely removing the data from data bearing devices such as hard drives.

When you delete files and then empty the Recycle Bin, you don’t actually erase the information, you just delete the reference to it so the operating system can’t find it. All the data is still there and, unless it’s overwritten, can be easily recovered using file recovery software.

Data destruction software, however, truly does remove the data. Each data destruction program utilises one or more data sanitisation methods that can permanently overwrite the information on the drive.

To ensure their data is not retrievable, companies need to use professional data wiping tools. This software wipes all of the previously saved files from a computer’s hard-drive, or any form of hard-drive for that matter, by overwriting the entire hard-drive with meaningless data, essentially copying over the existing files in such a way that they are unrecoverable.

Concept Management utilise Blancco Data Erasure Management Software. This is a solution to monitor data erasure activities. This is an all-encompassing strategy and a line of defence against harmful security leaks and compliance with data privacy regulations. Data stored across a wide range of company devices and virtual systems is managed to ensure data is erased securely and cost effectively, including complete data sanitisation for the safe disposal, reuse or remarketing of IT devices. Whatever the IT asset may be, you are 100% safe once the data is erased.
