What is Certified Data Erasure?
Certified Data Erasure is the process of permanently overwriting and sanitising all information stored on electronic devices.
Unlike basic deletion or formatting, which leaves sensitive data recoverable, Certified Data Erasure ensures total and irreversible sanitisation, backed by certification and compliance with international security standards.
Every erasure carried out with Blancco software generates a Certificate of Sanitisation, providing a complete audit trail for compliance with GDPR, ISO, and any other regulatory frameworks.
Certified Data Erasure with DGD Technology
At DGD Technology, we provide Certified Data Erasure solutions that meet international standards for data sanitisation and compliance. Using Blancco Data Erasure software, we securely overwrite sensitive data from IT assets, ensuring that confidential information cannot be recovered or misused.
This service offers organisations a verifiable, environmentally friendly alternative to physical shredding, while still guaranteeing complete data protection.
Secure Data Sanitisation with Blancco
Blancco’s technology is tried, tested, and certified by 13+ governing bodies and organisations worldwide, ensuring that your sensitive data is securely destroyed in line with the highest global standards.
Why Certified Data Erasure Matters
Simply deleting files or reformatting drives doesn’t permanently remove data. Certified Data Erasure ensures the complete and verifiable removal of information before reuse, resale, or recycling, protecting your organisation from GDPR breaches, data leaks, and reputational risk.
Using industry-leading tools like Blancco, certified erasure meets global standards such as NIST 800-88 and ISO 27040, providing a Certificate of Erasure for full traceability and compliance.
As well as security, it supports sustainability and the circular economy by allowing IT assets to be safely reused, reducing e-waste, and extending hardware lifecycles, combining data protection with environmental responsibility.
