Device Erasure Certificate

Generating and understanding Device Erasure Certificates and other reporting options.

Clear provides comprehensive reporting and certification capabilities to support compliance, audit requirements, and customer delivery. These outputs serve as verifiable proof that data sanitization was successfully completed.

Certificates and reports are generated automatically as part of the wipe process, and can be accessed, viewed, and exported as needed.

  • Internal record-keeping and audits

Each certificate includes:

  • Report Information
  • Company Information
  • System Information
  • S.M.A.R.T Properties and Attributes
  • Erasure Details (method, configuration, duration)
  • Erasure Results (status, verification outcome)
