Solid State Disk

Revert erases the entire disk drive (including “hidden” areas) in keeping with NIST SP 800-88 Guidelines for Media Sanitization.

Revert uses state‐of‐the‐art, purpose-built mobile platforms and industry-leading erasure software designed to completely and securely erase data on solid state drives (SSDs) on‐site, preventing unauthorized access to data and assuring chain‐of‐custody integrity. Revert complies with rigorous industry regulations and governmental legislation regarding data privacy and protection of personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI).

Revert’s services eliminate data not just from user-addressable space, but also identifies and resets – prior to eradication – areas of the disk drive that are hidden from operating systems and applications, such as Device Configuration Overlays (DCO) or Host Protected Areas (HPA). This is an especially important consideration in meeting the verification requirements for NIST SP 800-88 Guidelines for Media Sanitization, a standard that has become increasingly important in enterprise environments.

We generate detailed reports and certificates of erasure by SSD serial number, which provides audit-worthy and verifiable assurance that the data was rendered inaccessible in compliance with applicable internationally-recognized and published data sanitization standards. Our technology supports all ATA and SCSI SSD types from:

  • Any enterprise and midrange storage and server vendor, platform, operating system, and disk format

  • Any desktop/workstation/laptop vendor, platform, operating system, and disk format

We address any need, including:

  • Erasure of data from failed SSDs from enterprise and midrange storage systems, servers, desktops, and laptops for return to the vendor for replacement under warranty

  • Erasure of data from enterprise and midrange storage systems, virtual tape libraries, servers, network appliances, desktops, and laptops for technology refresh and lease returns

Revert ensures that data is rendered inaccessible without destroying the physical SSD, allowing SSDs and/or systems and servers to be repurposed, reused, resold, or returned to vendors for warranty credit.
