ITAD and recycling companies
Process drives in volume with a signed certificate for every one. A client audit takes minutes, not days.
Drive Erasure
Drive Erasure Software Permanently Erase Data, without leaving the traces.
Wipora Erase Drive Erasure permanently destroys data on hard drives, SSDs, NVMe and USB storage in laptops, desktops and servers. It generates a tamper-evident certificate of data destruction for every drive, giving you the audit trail you need for data-protection laws such as GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, ISO 27001 and India's DPDP Act. Deploy it from a USB drive, over the network with PXE, or across your whole fleet from the central console.

A signed, publicly verifiable certificate for every drive
Who It Is For
Find your team below.
Enterprise IT
Retire laptops and servers without data leaving the building. Erase on site, keep the certificate, hand over clean hardware.
Data centres
Decommission storage in place. The software picks the fastest safe method each drive supports seconds for drives that support cryptographic erase.
IT service providers
Wipe a customer's machine before resale or return, and hand them proof.
What You Get
Erases every type of drive
HDD, SSD, NVMe and USB storage, each with the right method. Flash and spinning disks need different treatment, and the software knows the difference.
Certificate for every drive
Digitally signed and publicly verifiable. Anyone with the certificate can confirm it is genuine and unaltered.
Chooses the strongest method the drive supports
The software asks each drive what it can do, then uses the most thorough method available not the same slow overwrite for everything.
Worn drives still get processed
One bad sector does not abandon the job. The software works around it, completes the rest, and reports the exact count on the certificate.
Survives a dropped connection
If a cable disconnects mid-wipe, the software waits for the drive, finds it again and continues from where it stopped.
Checks its own work
After erasing, it reads the drive back and confirms the data is gone. The certificate states what was checked and how much.
Runs unattended at scale
Over PXE, start a room of machines and collect the certificates afterwards.
Pay per drive
One drive, one licence. Licences are consumed only when a drive is actually wiped.

Sanitization Standards Implemented
Most tools still advertise NIST 800-88 Rev. 1. Revision 2 became final in September 2025 we implemented Rev. 2. We do support Different Data Eraser Standards: NIST Clear · NIST Purge · IEEE 2883 Clear · IEEE 2883 Purge · Single Pass Zero · DoD 3-Pass · DoD 7-Pass.
| Standard | What we support | Status |
|---|---|---|
| IEEE Std 2883-2022 | Clear and Purge, with the verification the standard requires | Current |
| NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 | Clear and Purge | Current revision, published September 2025 |
| DoD 5220.22-M | 3-pass and 7-pass overwrite patterns | Legacy patterns, for policies that still name them |
How It Works
Boot
From USB, or over the network with PXE.
Select
Choose the drives and the erasure method.
Erase
Watch progress per drive, with the current stage shown.
Certify
Download the signed certificate, or sync it to the console.
Deploy It Your Way
USB drive
One machine at a time. Boot from USB, run the job, and save the report to the same drive. The certificate saves there too.
PXE network boot
Many machines at once, with no USB to carry. Machines boot from the network and appear in the console ready for work.
Central console
Issue jobs to networked machines and watch progress live. Reports come back to one place automatically.

One Platform Behind Every Product
The same software, the same reports, whichever product you license.
Multiple deployment options
Boot one machine from a USB drive, boot many at once over the network with PXE, or drive a whole fleet from the central console.
Cloud console
One dashboard for every machine, drive, report and certificate. Track what was processed, by whom and when, and manage licences across teams and sites.
Signed, verifiable reports
Every report is digitally signed. Scan the QR code on any certificate to confirm it is genuine no login required.
Global wiping standards
IEEE 2883-2022 and NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2, the current revision plus legacy patterns, including DoD 5220.22-M, for policies that still name them.
Offline & Online Reports saving
Reports can be saved to the same USB you booted from and synced to the console as well.
Pay-per-Device licensing
One drive, one license. Buy what you need and use it when you need it.
