PC4 Recycling Elevates Data Security with Ziperase and IEEE 2883-2022 Certified Erasure

At PC4 Recycling, our priority is helping businesses securely dispose of IT assets while maintaining full compliance with data protection regulations. We are proud to announce the integration of Ziperase’s advanced data erasure technology, enabling us to meet the IEEE 2883-2022 standard—one of the most robust and up-to-date benchmarks for secure data sanitisation.

Why IEEE 2883-2022 Sets a New Standard

The IEEE 2883-2022 standard provides comprehensive protocols for securely erasing data from modern storage devices, including SSDs, HDDs, and NVMe drives.

  • Clear – Logical techniques such as overwriting or block erasure to prevent basic recovery.
  • Purge – Advanced methods including cryptographic erase and firmware-based sanitisation, making data recovery infeasible.

This standard gives IT departments confidence that data cannot be recovered, aligning with UK GDPR (in effect since 1 January 2021), the Data Protection Act 2018, and other key compliance frameworks.

Why PC4 Has Chosen Ziperase

Ziperase is an industry-leading, standards-compliant data wiping solution, trusted across sectors that demand rigorous data protection, including finance, healthcare, education, and legal.

Key benefits of Ziperase include:

  • Certified Compliance – Fully aligned with IEEE 2883-2022, NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1, and ADISA Product Assurance Level 5.
  • Multi-device Capability – Efficiently erases multiple devices simultaneously.
  • Digitally Signed Reports – Each erasure process generates a verifiable, tamper-proof certificate.

Seamless Integration with ITAM360

To further support our clients’ compliance and audit needs, we’ve fully integrated Ziperase data erasure reports and certificates into our ITAM360 portal. This means:

  • Immediate Access – Securely view, download, or archive all erasure certificates in one place.
  • Streamlined Audits – Simplify data protection audits with full traceability.
  • Asset-level Detail – Match certificates to individual asset records for full lifecycle transparency.

This enhancement helps IT managers and compliance officers maintain a verifiable chain of custody and fulfil regulatory obligations with ease.

  • Certified, secure data sanitisation
