Certus Erasure Software is software for securely and verifiably erasing data on IT equipment. The product line consists of EraseDrive for PCs, laptops, servers and storage media, EraseMobile for iOS and Android devices and EraseMac for macOS. In addition there is VerifyDrive for verifying erasure, Diagnostics for a device check and DispositionCenter for managing the erasure process centrally. The software creates an erasure report for each device and supports several erasure methods and standards. Rollout can run through PXE or the cloud, among other options. Target groups include IT asset disposition providers, manufacturers, leasing and refurbishing companies and corporate IT teams.
Certus is offered by Certus Technology Group B.V. in Veenendaal, the Netherlands. The group also includes entities in Germany, the United States and the United Kingdom; no single majority owner is named. Where management data from DispositionCenter is stored is not stated on the pages consulted. The erasure itself takes place on the device, so the data does not leave your site. Ask the vendor about hosting and processors for the cloud components.
