Data destruction FAQ
Can you provide a certificate of data destruction?
Yes. Certificates and serialized reporting are available for projects that require them. Tell us what documentation your organization needs when booking the service.
Can working computers be wiped instead of destroyed?
Often, yes. When secure sanitization is appropriate, keeping a working device intact can preserve reuse or resale value while protecting the previous owner’s information.
Do you follow NIST SP 800-88?
CPER’s data sanitization process is aligned with NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 guidance, using Clear, Purge or Destroy methods as appropriate.
