SECURE DATA ERASURE TOOL

INTRODUCTION
• Secure data erasure tools play a crucial role in ensuring the confidentiality and privacy of sensitive
information when electronic devices need to be retired or repurposed.
• As organizations increasingly rely on digital data, the proper disposal of information becomes
essential to prevent unauthorized access and potential data breaches.
• The introduction of a secure data erasure tool aims to address these concerns by providing a
reliable and efficient method for securely wiping data from storage devices.
SCOPE
• The scope of this project encompasses the development of a comprehensive secure data
erasure tool that can be used across various platforms and devices.
• This tool will be designed to securely and permanently delete data from hard drives, solid-
state drives, and other storage media, ensuring that no remnants of sensitive information are
left behind.
• The tool will cater to both individual users and organizations, offering a scalable solution to
meet different data erasure needs.
FEATURES
 Multiple Algorithms:
Incorporate multiple secure erasure algorithms (e.g., DoD 5220.22-M, NIST 800-88) to cater to
different security requirements.
 Drive Detection:
Automatically detect and display connected storage devices, allowing users to select specific
drives for erasure.
 Certification:
Provide a certification report after the data erasure process, confirming that the data has been securely
wiped in compliance with industry standards.
 Batch Erasure:
Enable users to perform batch data erasure on multiple drives simultaneously, enhancing efficiency
in scenarios involving mass storage media.
 Customization:
Allow users to customize erasure settings based on their security policies and specific needs.
OBJECTIVES
 Develop a robust and secure data erasure tool.
 Ensure compatibility with a variety of storage devices and platforms.
 Create an intuitive and user-friendly interface for easy navigation.
 Implement automation features to enhance efficiency and reduce errors.
 Provide detailed logging and reporting for transparency and accountability.
 Adhere to industry standards and best practices for secure data erasure.
 Conduct thorough testing to identify and address any potential vulnerabilities.
 Deliver comprehensive documentation for users and developers.
 Successfully deploy the tool and provide training to end-users.
 Receive positive feedback and validation of the tool's effectiveness in securely erasing data.
TIMELINE
o Research and Planning (2 months):
Conduct an in-depth analysis of existing secure data erasure tools,
define project requirements, and outline the development plan.
o Development (6 months):
Implement the secure erasure algorithms, design and develop the user
interface, and integrate automation features.
