Wipe My Flash - Data Cleanser
With the
ever increasing burden on businesses and individuals to ensure both their own
and client data is secured from theft or unauthorized access, we were approached
recently to investigate cost effective methods of ensuring data was wiped from
USB/Flash memory devices, whilst leaving the device cleaned and re-usable for
other staff, recycling or checked for any previously deleted or hidden data
being cleansed from a device prior to distribution to sales teams or clients.
Our
investigations showed that although there are many available solutions to data
wiping, these mainly rely on low level disk access and formatting, which as we
have found out to our cost can leave USB and Flash memory un-usable, requiring
disposal, rather than allowing re-use or requires elevated user access rights.
In
addition, almost all of these products remove all data from the devices rather
than cleansing free space and leaving genuine files and data intact. This
capability can be required when the device has in-built encryption and security
software installed that must remain on the device for it to function correctly.
Other
solutions we uncovered in our investigations involved the use of dubious and in
some cases downright dangerous use of electricity or hammers, lorry wheels etc...
Accordingly
we have developed this software to utilize standard Windows file and device
management functionality to perform data wiping of flash and USB memory drives,
without the need to perform low level writing and re-formatting of these devices
or for users to explicitly have system level access rights to perform many of
the functions required to ensure data on these devices are wiped and/or free space
cleansed to an acceptable level..
Features:
- Removes files, folders and cleanses entire flash/USB drives of readable data
- Capability to clean free and slack space of old and deleted data whilst leaving genuine files
and folders untouched
- No inherent requirement for Administrator or elevated user privilages to perform wiping or scans
- Multiple pass overwrite capability in registered version
- Supports almost all forms of FAT file systems on USB flash memory sticks, SD
cards, Cameras etc.
- exFAT file system support as standard
