BitRaser\u00ae<\/sup> is a data wiping software<\/a> with diverse solutions, such as drive erasure, file erasure, and deleting application traces. The software has been tried, tested, and certified by various major national and international organizations for its data wiping capabilities.<\/p>\n

Let us see some major certifications attained by BitRaser\u00ae<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

1. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Approved<\/h2>\n

\"NIST
\nNIST is a part of the US Department of Commerce. Its main aim is to uphold industrial standards in diverse domains, such as engineering, communications, and Information Technology.<\/p>\n

BitRaser\u00ae<\/sup> Drive Erasure is approved by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)<\/a> for its data wiping efficiency, based on the NIST 800-88 standard. The test was performed by Computer Forensics Tool Testing (CFTT) Federated Test Suite on a hard disk drive (HDD) and a solid state drive (SSD).<\/p>\n

The test result of data wiping by BitRaser\u00ae<\/sup> Drive Eraser v3.0 by NIST 808-88 Purge Secure Erasure Standard was \u2018As Expected\u2019. The data was wiped out, leaving no chances of recovery, including the Host Protected Area (HPA) and Device Configuration Overlay (DCO).<\/p>\n

2. ADISA Certification<\/h2>\n

\"ADISA
\nADISA (Asset Disposal and Information Security Alliance) is a renowned organization that offers accreditation to companies that provide IT disposal and data sanitization services. The accreditations range from solid state drive sanitization to physical destruction tools, and mobile devices to magnetic hard drives, in accordance with the ADISA Claims Test Method (ACT).<\/p>\n

The test was conducted on a San Disk 250 GB SSD<\/a> and iPhone 8<\/a> to sanitize the data using BitRaser\u00ae<\/sup> Drive Eraser 3.0 and BitRaser\u00ae<\/sup> Mobile Eraser & Diagnostics v3.0, respectively, using the NIST 800-88 Purge algorithm. It was certified that the software can sanitize data to protect against forensic attacks as specified in Test Level-1.<\/p>\n

It was found that the claims submitted by Stellar\u00ae<\/sup> were \u2018true\u2019 and the two devices were able to mitigate the threats.<\/p>\n

3. HIPAA Seal of Compliance<\/h2>\n

\"HIPAAHealth Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) offers a clear set of protocols and guidelines in relation to the security of the PHI (Protected Health Information). HIPAA classifies the organizations into covered entities (health care institutes, clearing houses, etc.) and business associates (financial institutes, etc.).<\/p>\n

The covered entities and their business associates need to comply with the HIPAA standards enforced by The Office of Civil Rights (OCR).<\/p>\n

There are various rules associated with HIPAA, namely \u2013<\/p>\n
