How It Works

The Certus Erasure Verification Tool (CEVT) is used to check if a storage device, like a hard drive, has been properly wiped clean of all data. It does this by comparing the data on the drive to a known pattern. If there’s any difference, the tool identifies it as leftover data that wasn’t fully erased.

Booting and security features

CEVT has support for secure boot, so it will also work on computers that have that feature enabled. This is important to keep the boot process safe. Plus, it supports network booting (PXE) via a USB network adapter, so you can be flexible in your deployment options.

Tamper-Proof Verification Reports

The tool generates tamper-proof verification reports that are digitally signed and can be saved offline on an external USB drive or an FTP server. This ensures that verification results are secure and easily accessible for audit and compliance purposes.

Important Note on Random Data

Drives with random data cannot be verified because random data doesn’t follow a predictable pattern – it’s inherently unpredictable. To make the drive verifiable with the Erasure Verification Tool, the last step of the erasure process must involve writing known, predictable data. This step is important for ensuring that the drive can be verified correctly after the erasure.
