NEMKO -Norwegian Electrotechnical Testing Institute
We asked NEMKO to try to restore data from disks after they were erased with our software and they came up empty!
In short their conclusions are as follows:
The results from the security testing on both hard drives show that the drives have been securely erased, and that no traces of the original content remain.
Nemko SySi concludes that the use of SeCloud Elimino does not entail any security risk.
We performed several tests on the copies of the drives and confirmed that:
- No partitions or file systems were present.
- No occurrences of the data were found on either drive.
- The data on the hard drives was consistent with random overwriting.
We confirmed that no partitions remained on the drives. A bit-level search across the entire drive for the content and the patterns used in the files yielded no hits. In addition, we confirmed that the drives had been overwritten with random values rather than only zeros or fixed patterns.
Conclusion:
The results from both hard drives show that the drives have been securely erased, and that no traces of the original content remain.
