IRONCLAD Erasure Verification

Create clear evidence of media erasure and physical destruction

Securely processing a hard drive is only one part of a controlled data disposal procedure. Organisations may also need records showing which asset was processed, when the work took place, who completed it and which destruction method was used.

The IRONCLAD Erasure Verification System works with compatible Garner equipment to capture asset details, processing information and supporting evidence. These records can help organisations maintain a traceable audit trail for internal governance, customer assurance and compliance reporting.

It’s the only audit trail you need.

How IRONCLAD Verification Works

Garner’s IRONCLAD system captures information during a compatible degaussing or physical destruction process. Depending on the connected equipment, the system can record asset identifiers, operator details, processing results and photographic evidence.

The completed record can then be exported for audit, archival or customer reporting purposes. This provides a documented link between the original asset and the method used to erase or physically destroy it.

Photographic capture

Provides proof media was degaussed by capturing a JPG image of the hard drive immediately after degaussing

Detailed reporting

Tracks and stores media serial numbers, user ID, witness ID, and date in a password-protected system

Evidence generation

Export JPG images and destruction results for audit and archival purposes in PDF, CSV, and Excel formats
