What we fix
Factory reset of an encrypted device
For phones, tablets and Macs with built-in encryption: a full reset destroys the encryption key so the old data can't be read (NIST SP 800-88 “Purge”).
Drive secure erase
The drive's own secure-erase or sanitize command, which reaches every storage block, including hidden areas (“Purge”).
Full overwrite
Every user area of the drive overwritten so the old data can't be read with normal tools (“Clear”).
Physical destruction
For drives that are failing or that you never want reused: drilled, crushed or shredded (“Destroy”).
Your certificate
Every wipe is recorded with the device, serial number, storage, method, who did it and when, and whether it was checked afterwards. You get a certificate at a private link that you can save or print as a PDF. Businesses retiring computers can keep one per machine for their records.
Questions
Isn't a factory reset enough?
On most modern phones and tablets with encryption turned on, a full factory reset done properly is a strong wipe. On many computers it isn't, and older or unencrypted drives need more. We'll use the right method for the device.
Do you wipe devices you buy?
Yes. Every device we buy is wiped before it's resold, and the seller can ask for a certificate.
How much will it cost?
Looking at it is free. You get a firm price before any work starts, and nothing is charged without your OK. If we find something that would change the price, we stop and ask first. There's no price list on purpose: two devices that look the same can be very different jobs.
