Certifications and Accreditation
Our United States-based team is available for consultation to help determine which wiping solution is best for you.
Our pricing is based on volume; customization is available to existing customers.
This certification report validates a claim made through the Product Claims Test (PCT) service by the ARC, confirming the effectiveness of a data sanitization product in rendering data on specified media unrecoverable using diverse data recovery techniques aligned with the ADISA Threat Matrix. The test procedure adheres to the ADISA Product Claims Test Methodology tailored for each targeted media. This report includes details on an application authorized for public release.
Data erasure product certifications aren’t easy to achieve. That’s why WipeOS is proud to partner with Ontrack, one of the world leaders in data erasure and data recovery. By its very definition, product certification endorses our product’s effectiveness by subjecting it to independently-validated quality and performance tests. It is the strongest possible indicator of the quality of the product and the environment in which it’s developed.
WipeOS permanently removes data from IT assets such as PCs, servers, data
With WipeOS software you can be confident in achieving full NIST sanitization for all your storage media.
With NIST certification WipeOS offers permanent and complete data sanitization services which meet the most secure erasure algorithm standards, including NIST 800-88 Rev 1 on both magnetic and flash-based media.
Wallencore Laboratory has been working with WipeOS to determine our exposure to the new rules in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In order to achieve this, an observational method assessment was performed to demonstrate required queries from Wallencore Laboratory.
Based on the affirmative results conducted from assessment, the Attestation Certificate was issued to WipeOS from Wallencore Laboratory.
WipeOS is pleased to announce that it has taken all necessary steps to achieve compliance and receive the HIPAA Seal of Compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This seal assures WipeOS customers that all security risks have been assessed and WipeOS has established and implemented the necessary policies and procedures to ensure meeting the strict HIPPA Privacy Security and Breach Notification rules.

The future of data sanitization
Data sanitization is the process of securely erasing data from storage devices to prevent unauthorized access. As the amount of data generated by individuals and organizations continues to grow, the need for effective data sanitization methods becomes more critical.
How to choose the best data erasure software?
Choosing the best data erasure software for your needs should not be a daunting task, but it’s essential to ensure that sensitive data is securely erased from storage devices before they are retired or repurposed.
Common data security mistakes
The growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expected to significantly influence the data market, presenting a surge in data storage needs and driving the demand for efficient data wipes. As AI algorithms continue to evolve, their hunger for vast amounts of data to train and enhance accuracy will lead to exponential growth in data storage requirements. This blog delves into the growth projections and the implications for data wipes amidst the AI boom.
AI affects the data market
The growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expected to have a significant impact on the data market. As AI algorithms continue to evolve, they will require ever-increasing amounts of data to train and improve their accuracy. This will lead to a higher demand for data storage, which in turn will require additional drive space and more frequent data wipes to ensure the security of sensitive information.
The role of ITAD in the circular economy
ITAD, or IT Asset Disposition, plays a critical role in the Circular Economy. The Circular Economy is a model that aims to eliminate waste and keep resources in use for as long as possible, by creating closed loops where products are reused, repaired, or recycled.
Safeguarding your business and compliance
Data sanitization is the process of permanently deleting or destroying data from a storage device to ensure it cannot be recovered. In today’s digital landscape, the protection of sensitive information has become paramount for businesses.
Streamlining data management
WipeOS, a leading provider of hardware and software solutions for data wiping, offers seamless integration with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, providing comprehensive data management and enhanced operational efficiency. This article explores the benefits of integrating WipeOS with popular ERP solutions such as IQReseller, NetSuite, Makor, and Asana.
Data Wiping vs Data Erasure
Ask most people on the street what the difference is between data wiping and data erasure, and you will most likely receive a blank stare or a shoulder roll. But in the world of data security, the differences can be legally significant.
Both data wiping and data erasure are methods that are commonly used to delete data from storage drives such as physical hard drives, solid-state drives, USB drives, and/or memory cards.
v2.4.10 End of Life
Effective March 31st 2023 we will no longer support version 2.4.10 and older. Beginning April 1st, 2023, WipeOS will only support version 2.4.11 and greater. If you are at software version 2.4.11 or greater there is no need to upgrade.
DoD or NIST?
It’s funny that client’s are still requesting a three-pass wipe (DoD wipe) of their hard drives because they believe that a 3-pass wipe must be better than a 1-pass. The thought was that if it was good enough for the Department of Defense, it must be the best solution.
