Data destruction software with proof per device

Serial-level erasure and destruction certificates, NIST 800-88 aligned, each backed by a full chain of custody.

Data destruction software exists to produce one thing reliably: a certificate that holds up. WipeTrail records every wipe and every physical destruction against the device’s serial number, aligned to NIST 800-88, and links each certificate to the device’s complete event history.

Erasure and destruction, recorded per device

Whether a drive is wiped for reuse or physically destroyed, WipeTrail records the method, standard, date, operator and result against the individual serial — not a batch.

NIST 800-88 aligned certificates

Certificates reference the recognised sanitisation standard and method used, so they satisfy customer, auditor and regulator expectations under UK GDPR and the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025.

One-click audit export

Export the full destruction record and its chain of custody for any device, collection or customer in a click — ready for an audit or a data-breach enquiry.

Frequently asked questions

What is data destruction software?

Software that records secure data erasure or physical destruction and issues certificates proving it, ideally per device with a chain of custody.

Does WipeTrail follow NIST 800-88?

Yes, certificates are aligned to NIST 800-88 Rev 1 methods (Clear, Purge, Destroy) and record the method used per device.

Can it handle both wiping and shredding?

Yes — it records software erasure for reusable drives and physical destruction (with evidence) for drives that can’t or shouldn’t be reused.
