Drive sanitisation with verification and certificate
Sanitises a drive to NIST SP 800-88, then reads the drive back with the recovery engine to confirm the result, and issues a signed certificate.
Licensed by a key bound to one machine, sold by the drive or image.

What this product is bought for
If the situation below matches yours, this is the right product. If none of them do, another product in the range is likely to be a closer fit, and the last section on this page says which.
A drive is leaving the organisation and has to be provably erased first.
A compliance policy requires certified sanitisation with a record to retain.
An erasure has to be confirmed by inspection rather than taken on trust.
Retired disks are accumulating and each needs a signed certificate before disposal.
How RecoverYantra Wipe is built
Sanitisation to a published standard
NIST SP 800-88 Clear and Purge, including ATA Secure Erase and NVMe Format where the device supports them.
Verified with the recovery engine
The same engine sold to recover data is run against the erased drive. A wipe is reported as successful only if that engine finds nothing.
A signed certificate
Each completed erasure produces a certificate signed with an Ed25519 key, recording the device, method, times and result.
What RecoverYantra Wipe does
Standards-based erasure
NIST SP 800-88 Clear and Purge, ATA Secure Erase, Enhanced Secure Erase and NVMe Format, selected by what the device actually reports.
Independent verification
The drive is scanned after erasure with the full recovery engine rather than a sampling check.
Signed certificate
Device identity, method used, start and end times, verification result and an Ed25519 signature over the record.
Stated limits
Where a device cannot be sanitised to the level requested, the certificate records the level actually reached.
Guardrails
The system drive and any drive holding the destination are refused, and every erasure requires explicit confirmation of the target.

The rest of the range
This page lists what the product does. Each product in the range is built for its own job, and what every one of them does is set out, product by product, on the products page, generated from the build itself. Hardware cases (drives that do not spin, locked phones, encrypted volumes) are covered in the hardware help guide.

Supplied to approved RecoverYantra partners. Apply once; your dashboard then carries every product, the licence keys for your machines and a direct line to our engineers.
System requirements
- Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit
- Administrator rights to read a physical drive. Working from a disk image needs none.
- A separate destination with room for the recovered data. Results are never written to the drive being read.
Linux
The engine runs on Linux from source, and a Linux command-line build is available on request.
RecoverYantra Wipe at a glance
Every row is read from the build this page was generated from.
| Product | RecoverYantra Wipe, version 20.54.3.2 |

| Platform | Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit. Administrator rights are needed to read a physical drive; working from a disk image needs none. |
| Workspaces included | 1 of 42 in the range: Secure erase and certificate |
| File types recovered | 269 formats carried in the signature table, searched together with file system parsing. |
| Access to the source | Read-only for the whole session. The application refuses a destination on the drive being read. |
| Licensing | A signed key bound to this machine's code, verified offline. Sold by the source: one use is one drive or image, and the same source is free afterwards. No account, no activation server and no internet connection needed. |
| Before a key | Nothing is erased without the drive's own serial number typed back as the confirmation; the system disk and the report drive are refused outright. |

| How it is supplied | Through the partner programme. The build is 23 MB; its SHA-256 is shown beside the download in your partner dashboard. |
Where the rest of the range fits
These products carry workspaces RecoverYantra Wipe does not. The list is derived from the catalogue, so it cannot point at a product that lacks the capability too.
