Wiping Different Operating Systems
No matter which operating systems you use in your business or home, data erasure software is arguably the best method to ensure that your valuable information cannot be restored or reconstructed—but which data destruction method is best for the OS you are using?
Any disk wipe software can perform a simple drive wipe, but using a solution that meets the rigorous standards of government agencies and international protocols will make your data irretrievable. WhiteCanyon Software’s disk wipe products securely erase data, on scales that range from home use to enterprise-level solutions.
Certified Data Erasure Software for All Types of Operating Systems
There are both hardware and software considerations when you choose secure data erasure software for your home or business. Many large businesses are still using physical data destruction as a costly solution to data erasure, but using a data destruction program is more cost-effective.

- Computers with an x86 architecture

Which Program Meets Your Data Erasure Needs?
Sometimes the entire operating system and all data need to be removed, but there are many levels of data security management and disk wipe which can be achieved with professional data destruction software. Some of these include:
- Programs like SystemSaver which wipe personal data, including browser data, meeting U.S. Department of Defense specifications while preserving the operating system. This technology allows computers to be repurposed with no risk of unauthorized access to old data.
- Complete disk drive wiping methods, especially WipeDrive software, which uses a 3-pass system of wiping to render data unrecoverable. Certified by the NSA and meeting DOD 5220.22-m requirements makes WipeDrive the wipe software of choice for government agencies.
