Friend with an IT shop is looking for software that he can produce a certificate with for local authority. The hddguru one is great but it really needs to have something that will pass rigid security measures, as frustrating as that is.

ontrack are trying to sell him some silly priced one in return for kickbacks

any ones that fit that description

thanks

andy

You may wish to ask what standard is acceptable for local authority, then use your favorite "erase/shred" software to those standards and create a certificate of your own and charge $ for it. After all done to a standard is done correctly.

Just a thought

Initially, perhaps a book on professionalism and integrity may be of more help.

In many cases it is cheaper to physically destroy the drive, because even with a software solution there are situations where the drive will not be completely sanitized, even when utilizing a DOD erase.(which may take upwards of 4 hours per drive)
