Data WIPING
REDEPLOY YOUR PERIPHERALS IN COMPLETE SAFETY
What is data wiping ?
Data wiping refers to the digital process of completely rewriting data stored on a digital device. The aim of this initiative is to definitively and efficiently eliminate all data, thus paving the way for optimal reuse of the device.
Using Blancco’s highly-certified software, renowned for its cutting-edge technology, our wiping algorithm accesses the most specific areas of the computer medium and erases all its data. Consequently, Katana Digital offers an unrivalled guarantee of security, thanks to secure wiping that complies with the most advanced standards.
Moreover, this process marks a decisive step towards responsible, sustainable management of IT resources.
When should you delete your IT data ?
RESell
If you're selling or giving away your old hardware, have the data erased first. You can then transfer the equipment to the new owner with complete peace of mind.
Redeploy
A laptop or PC is reused by another employee. Have the data erased first, then give the cleaned device to the new user..
DONate
Many foundations need digital equipment for their work or to donate to people in need. Make a social impact by donating your computers after deleting all their information.

Software and standards
Blancco software
Blancco Technology group is the world leader in secure, compliant and automated data erasure solutions. Approved, recommended and certified worldwide by industry and government bodies, Blancco is the global standard for IT lifecycle management.
Our standards
For our deletions, we use the procedures recommended by the IEEE. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is the world’s largest professional association dedicated to technological innovation. It is a leading developer of international standards for products and services in the fields of telecommunications, information technology and power generation.
Moreover, the IEEE 2883-2022 standard is the most secure standard for data erasure. Implemented in 2022, it takes up the indications of the NIST 800-88 standard (implementation: 2014) and deals with new technologies developed since then.
Service after data wiping
Destruction
When erasing, 5-10% of devices experience a system error that causes the process to fail. The reasons for an error are varied. The device may be too damaged for rewriting, the algorithm may be too sophisticated for the disk’s capabilities, or a computer error may have occurred during erasure. However, we offer a range of support options for these devices to ensure that the information they contain is destroyed, while maximizing your chances of reusing it.
OS reinstallation
After erasure, the devices no longer have an operating system. The user only has access to the motherboard BIOS. We offer to install an operating system on your computers/servers and format your hard disks so that they can be used immediately after erasure.
