Certified Erasure with Globally Recognized Compliance:

Blackbelt360’s WatchWipe helps retailers, marketplaces, and supply chain services, to comply with stringent international standards such as CCPA, EU-GDPR, SOX, GLBA, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and the rigorous US NIST Special Publication 800-88 and US DoD 5220.22-M. These certifications confirm that WatchWipe meets the highest standards for data sanitization.   

Blackbelt360 uses propriety methods for different operating systems, a typical wipe would follow the below process; 

Erasing Apple Watch Data: The software efficiently erases data from Apple Watches, ensuring that all sensitive information is permanently removed. This safeguard protects customer data and supports cost-effective management by avoiding the need for device destruction or re-procurement.  
Wipe Settings and Standards: WatchWipe's advanced settings allow users to specify the number of wipes, adhering to and exceeding established data erasure standards. This flexibility ensures that all data is securely overwritten and unrecoverable.  
iOS Data Erasure Processes:
  • Secure Wipe: Overwrites the existing iOS with a new ISPW file, ensuring the device is factory reset and reboots to the “hello” screen, making recovery impossible.
  • Standard Wipe: Uses the device's built-in factory reset function, ensuring a straightforward wipe that also resets the device to the “hello” screen.
 
Transparent Auditing: Offers a comprehensive audit trail for each device, detailing the wiping method, date, and device identity.  
Device Reset Check: After the wiping process, a device reset check is performed to ensure that the device is in a factory-reset state, effectively eliminating any chances of data remnants or recovery.  
Replacement Parts and Cloud Checks: Our WatchWipe software detects original parts and replacement parts and performs comprehensive cloud checks, including carrier, lease, warranty, and lock status, ensuring a thorough assessment of each device's condition and security status.
