CURRENT SITUATION

ATTENDEES:

MISSION: Develop a technology for sanitizing hard drives beyond forensic reconstruction – retain the ability to reuse the hard drive.

OUTCOME: The Industry collaborated with The CMRR, under the direction of the NSA to develop Secure Erase. Now part of the ATA Rev 4 Spec for hard drive manufacturers A destruction command is embedded in the firmware of hard drives It is an atomic process eradicating all user data beyond forensic recovery Up to 18 times faster than ineffective overwrite routines Compliant, certified standards based technology Implemented by global hard drive manufacturers in 2002BIOS and Operating System developers blocked the ability to initiate Secure Erase.

BEST PRACTICE

GETTING STARTED

DETERMINE YOUR NEEDS:

A Needs Analysis will determine your requirements to develop a Digital Shredder placement plan that meets your needs. For example, your current backlog of hard drives (if any) and the types of hard drives in your environment.DETERMINE IMPLEMENTATION:

After your needs are determined, we will create an agreement with you that offers one of three options – long term consignment, short term consignment or on/off site service.

DEPLOYMENT & TRAINING:

The Digital Shredder ships with easy to use instructions. If necessary, training will be conducted either on site or via the web. Training includes setup, administrative Digital Shredder functions, erasure functions, effectively managing the log and efficient sanitization practices

500 – 599 23

5 Easy Steps:1. Determine the number of drives you must refresh or purge;2. Contact us with your count and schedule the Shredder;3. Set-up a web training session for your project leader;4. Remove drives from computers before your unit arrives;5. Purge your drives; price per purge is $25. Volume will

determine how many days the Digital Shredder is deployed.

OPTION II: SHORT TERM CONSIGNMENTShort term placement at your facility for project work

OPTION I: LONG TERM CONSIGNMENTPlace the Digital Shredder on a permanent basis with a revolving 12-month consignment

Mechanics:1. 25% of your purge requirement will be preloaded into

the unit and is due prior to shipment;2. Replenishments can be ordered electronically.

OPTION III: ON OR OFF SITE SERVICEWe provide the service. Pricing will be quoted based on # of drives and time required.
