Blackbelt360 DataWipe for Computer delivers ADISA certified, NIST 800-88 compliant data erasure for computers, laptops, desktops and servers. Built for ITAD operations, enterprise IT departments and computer refurbishers processing high volumes of mixed hardware, it permanently and securely erases data across HDDs, SSDs and NVMes - including loose drives, Chromebooks and Apple T2 and Apple Silicon Macs - in full compliance with GDPR. Every erasure generates a verifiable certificate, centrally stored and accessible from an online portal.

What DataWipe for Computer does

Certified Data Erasure

ADISA certified, NIST 800-88 compliant erasure that permanently removes data from every data-bearing device, with a verifiable certificate for each one.

Broad Hardware Compatibility

Supports the full estate an ITAD sees on intake - Intel-based and Apple Silicon computers, Windows and Mac, Chromebooks and servers, across HDDs, SSDs and NVMes of any size or block size.

Loose-drive Workflow

A dedicated loose-drive workflow for ITADs removing drives on intake - hot-swap, verify and test with full SMART reporting, working with the multi-bay hardware you already run.

DFU Tool Included

A proprietary Blackbelt360 DFU boot tool for Apple T2 and Apple Silicon Macs is built in - boot straight into DFU mode, no manual key combinations, no third-party DFU licence per technician.

Seamless Systems Integration

Industry-standard APIs and Webhooks connect DataWipe for Computer straight into your ERP, WMS or asset-management system.

Erasure Verification

Verify completed erasures inside the wipe workflow, or standalone against previously-erased drives. Auto-verify runs verification on a set percentage of drives automatically, covering the sampling R2v3 facilities have to evidence - 10% at first, reducing to 5% and then 1% over time - so nobody is hand-testing erased drives.

BitLocker Support

Handles BitLocker - encrypted Windows drives natively - no separate unlock step, no failed wipes on encrypted volumes. Sits in the same workflow, no operator retraining needed.

MacOS Genuine Parts Check

Automatically checks Macs for non-genuine parts during processing - flagging aftermarket components before a device goes back into resale. Protects grading integrity and prevents surprise returns.

BIOS Unlock

Unlocks BIOS passwords on locked machines, including certain third-party BIOS-lock tools, so locked units do not stall the line or come back as failures. BIOS locks are one of the most common blockers in high-volume PC processing.

Erase to your industry standard

DataWipe for Computer provides NIST Purge and Clear, DoD 5220.22-M/ECE, BSI-GS/GSE, the IEEE 2883-2022 standard and more erasure patterns, so you erase to the guidelines your industry and customers require. The software is NIST 800-88 compliance verified by ADISA for HDDs and SSDs, and every erasure is verified, with tamper-evident certificates centrally stored for 24/7 access.

Flexible Hardware Support and Compatibility

DataWipe for Computer boots on BIOS and UEFI computers, including Intel-based and Apple Silicon Windows, Linux and Macs with Apple T2 and Secure Boot. It supports IDE/ATA, SATA, SCSI, SAS, USB, Fiber Channel and FireWire platter-based drives, and NVMe, SATA and SAS solid-state drives of any size or block size - securely erasing PCs, laptops, servers and storage environments on x86 and x86-64 architectures.

Certified Erasure Certificate

Blackbelt360 provides a certificate of erasure for every transaction, with unique device information captured on each one - definitive, audit-ready proof for compliance.

Reporting for compliance and audit

Customisable erasure reports in PDF, CSV, XML and JSON, the formats audits and a transparent operational trail require.

Device information capture

Make, model, serial number and OS captured and verified on every device, with external APIs for enhanced data such as iCloud status and MDM details.

How it fits the platform

DataWipe for Computer is the computer erasure capability in the Blackbelt360 platform. It runs in the same workflow as Diagnostics for Computer (hardware testing and automated grading) and Grade, on one shared audit trail - so a machine can be tested, erased, graded and priced without ever leaving Blackbelt360.
