Technology is evolving at a rapid pace. Stricter privacy regulations, rising cybersecurity risks, and new IT infrastructures mean that organizations must constantly adapt their processes. But technology alone is not enough. The success of secure data erasure ultimately depends on the knowledge and skills of the people carrying it out.
Why Training Matters More Than Ever
- Reskilling & upskilling: Across industries, there is a growing demand to equip professionals with new skills in cybersecurity and data privacy.
- Compliance: Organizations must be able to prove that data has been erased securely and in compliance with international standards. This requires both the right tools and the right expertise.
- Digital trust: Customers, partners, and regulators expect transparency and accountability. Training ensures engineers understand not only how to erase data securely, but also how to document the process in a way that builds confidence.
The Certus Certified Engineer Program
At Certus, we believe that knowledge is the foundation of trust. Our Certified Engineer Program was designed to provide IT professionals with the expertise they need to perform data erasure to the highest standard.
The training process consists of four steps:
- Training Course: A very intensive training course on international standards (NIST 800-88 r1, IEEE 2883-2022), certifications, wiping methods, and hardware configurations.
- Exam: An online test to validate knowledge, with a Certificate of Excellence awarded upon success.
- Recognition: Certified Engineers receive an official ID badge, a Certus polo shirt to showcase their expertise, a framed certificate, and a training manual.
- Continuous Learning: Annual renewal training and ongoing updates keep skills sharp and relevant.
The Impact for Organizations
By certifying their engineers, organizations gain the assurance that data erasure is performed correctly, securely, and in line with compliance requirements. Trained professionals can work faster, more efficiently, and carry out processes with greater confidence.
At the same time, having a certified specialist in-house provides clear evidence for customers, auditors, and stakeholders that data is erased responsibly and transparently. This not only reduces risks but also eliminates dependency on external resources, ultimately saving valuable time and money in the long run.
