Achieve NIST 800-88 Data Erasure Compliance
Meet the gold standard for data sanitization. D-Secure provides verifiable, tamper-proof data erasure that strictly adheres to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-88 Guidelines for Media Sanitization.
NIST Clear Level
Logical techniques (such as overwriting) to sanitize data in all user-addressable storage locations for protection against simple non-invasive data recovery techniques.
D-Secure overwrites all addressable locations up to 35 times using DoD, NIST, or custom algorithms, generating a verified log of completion.
NIST Purge Level
Physical or logical techniques that render target data recovery infeasible using state-of-the-art laboratory techniques.
D-Secure utilizes Cryptographic Erase (CE) and Secure Erase commands at the controller level for SSDs, meeting strict NIST Purge requirements.
NIST Destroy Level
Physical destruction of media making data recovery infeasible and the media incapable of storing data.
D-Secure provides tracking protocols and Chain of Custody reports to integrate seamlessly with your physical destruction workflows.
Why NIST 800-88 Compliance is Critical
Regulatory Requirement
NIST guidelines are the foundation for compliance with HIPAA, GDPR, PCI-DSS, and FISMA. Falling short can result in severe legal penalties.
Modern Storage Security
Standard formatting leaves data recoverable on modern SSDs. NIST 800-88 dictates Cryptographic Erasure and block-level overwriting to guarantee unrecoverability.
Audit-Proof Documentation
NIST requires verification. D-Secure generates digitally signed, tamper-proof Certificates of Erasure for every single sanitized device.
Generate Tamper-Proof Certificates
- Device Serial Number & Specs
- Erasure Algorithm Used (e.g. NIST 800-88 Purge)
- Timestamp & Operator Details
- Cryptographic Validation Signature
