NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1
Data Erasure Software
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-88 is the gold standard for media sanitization. WipeCert automates compliance with cryptographically signed certificates for every device.
How WipeCert meets NIST 800-88
Compliance isn't just about overwriting data—it's about proving it. Our platform handles the entire sanitization lifecycle from execution to verification and documentation.
Clear, Purge, and Destroy
WipeCert supports all three levels of NIST 800-88 sanitization. From standard ATA Secure Erase (Clear) to cryptographic erasure (Purge) for SSDs and NVMe drives.
Audit-Ready Certificates
Every successful wipe generates a detailed certificate containing the device serial number, drive model, operator ID, timestamp, and exact erasure method used.
Cryptographic Verification
Certificates are signed using Ed25519 cryptography. Auditors can scan the QR code on any certificate to verify its authenticity directly against our public ledger.
Verification & Validation
NIST 800-88 requires verification that the erasure was successful. WipeCert automatically performs post-wipe sector verification to guarantee data destruction.
The ultimate proof of erasure
NIST 800-88 requires a certificate of sanitization for every piece of media. WipeCert generates a tamper-proof, digitally signed PDF that satisfies the strictest auditors.
