Secure data erasure

Introduction

Certified data erasure

After conclusion of a troubleshooting mission, it is COMCERT's policy to completely remove all data collected during the mission from the tools HDD and/or SDD. 

We also offer the paid option to erase the data using a certified data ersure software for HDD and SDD.  Wiping a server using these standards can take from a couple of hours to more than a week.
