Certified Data Erasure You Can Trust
When it comes to secure data destruction, compliance and certainty matter. With Ultratest Genesis, you get data wiping and sanitisation processes that are fully aligned with the NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 standard, covering Clear, Purge, and Destroy. This globally recognised framework ensures data is handled responsibly and permanently erased to the highest level of assurance.
What Is NIST SP 800-88?
NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) SP 800-88 Rev. 1 sets out the recognised best practices for secure data sanitisation, ensuring information is unrecoverable. It defines three main methods:
Clear – logical techniques (such as overwriting) that make data unrecoverable using standard data recovery tools.
Purge – advanced techniques, such as cryptographic erase or firmware commands, ensuring data is unrecoverable even with specialist lab equipment.
Destroy – physical destruction of media, guaranteeing data cannot be retrieved by any method.
Following these NIST standards for data destruction ensures organisations remain compliant, secure, and audit-ready.
