Data Erasure Standards TruWipe® Supports

Write Zero

The Write Zero standard sanitizes storage media by overwriting all existing data with zeros in a single pass. It is commonly used for fast and effective data erasure in enterprise and routine sanitization environments.

1 Pass

Secure Erase

Secure Erase is a firmware-level sanitization method designed for HDDs and SSDs. It permanently removes data using built-in drive commands, restoring the storage device to factory state while preventing non-invasive data recovery.

1 Pass

Random Data Write

Overwrites all existing data with randomly generated characters in a single pass to securely sanitize storage devices. Provides stronger protection against data recovery than fixed-pattern overwrite methods.

1 Pass

Peter Gutmann

Developed by Peter Gutmann in 1996, this method overwrites data using 35 passes with a combination of random values and predefined patterns. It is considered one of the most secure but time-intensive data erasure standards.

35 Passes

IEEE 2883-2022 Clear

IEEE 2883-2022 Clear is a modern media sanitization standard that defines secure methods for logical data clearing. It supports reliable sanitization practices aligned with current enterprise, cybersecurity, and regulatory requirements.

1 Pass

US Army AR 380-19

US Army AR 380-19 is a data sanitization standard developed for military environments. It securely erases data through multiple overwrite passes using defined patterns to prevent unauthorized recovery of sensitive information.

3 Passes

HMG Infosec Standard 5 (Lower Standard)

This UK government-approved sanitization method overwrites data in a single pass for secure media reuse in lower-risk environments. It is designed to protect sensitive organizational and business information from recovery.

1 Pass

HMG Infosec Standard 5 (Higher Standard)

The Higher Standard version of HMG Infosec Standard 5 uses multiple overwrite passes to securely erase highly sensitive or confidential data in government and enterprise security environments.

3 Passes

DoD 5220.22-M

DoD 5220.22-M is a widely recognized U.S. Department of Defense data erasure standard. It sanitizes storage media using multiple overwrite passes to ensure sensitive data cannot be recovered through standard techniques.

3 Passes

DoD 5220.22-M ECE

An enhanced variation of the DoD 5220.22-M standard, the ECE method uses seven overwrite passes with different character patterns for increased protection against advanced data recovery methods.

7 Passes

Aperiodic Random Overwrite

Aperiodic Random Overwrite erases data by applying non-repetitive random overwrite patterns across the storage media. This approach improves unpredictability and reduces the possibility of recovering previously stored information.

1 Pass

NIST 800-88 Clear

NIST 800-88 Clear is a globally recognized media sanitization standard that uses logical overwriting to securely erase user-accessible storage areas and prevent non-invasive data recovery.
