Core Standards Nemesis Conforms To
Nemesis aligns with globally recognised standards for logical data sanitisation, giving you peace of mind that your processes stand up to scrutiny:
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 (Clear & Purge)
The benchmark for secure erasure of non-volatile memory in IT assets, including networking hardware.
NCSC Guidance (UK)
Recommendations from the UK National Cyber Security Centre for sanitising network devices.
HMG IA Standard No. 5 (UK)
Government-approved standard for handling protectively marked information.
ISO/IEC 27040
Best practice for secure storage and data sanitisation in IT systems.
ISO/IEC 27001
The internationally recognised Information Security Management System (ISMS) standard.
GDPR (EU)

Additional Sector-Specific Frameworks
Nemesis also helps organisations meet compliance obligations across multiple industries and jurisdictions:

National guidance for data sanitisation of IT assets.
R2v3 (Responsible Recycling Standard)
Requires NIST/NCSC-compliant data destruction for resale.
Industry / Corporate
HIPAA (US Healthcare) – Ensures secure disposal of patient information on networking devices.
GLBA (US Financial Services) – Mandates safe erasure of customer financial records.
FISMA (US Federal Agencies) – Data security requirements aligned with NIST standards.
PCI DSS – Payment Card Industry rules for erasure of devices handling cardholder data.
SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley, US Corporate) – Ensures proper disposal of financial records on corporate IT equipment.
Superseded or Legacy Standards (for reference)
While Nemesis is designed to meet today’s most trusted standards, some older frameworks are still recognised for historical purposes:
CESG Baseline / Enhanced Erase – Replaced by NCSC guidance.
DoD 5220.22-M – Once a US standard, now largely replaced by NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1.
