Certified data erasure that auditors actually accept.

Yes. Orion implements NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 Clear and Purge methods. Method selection is automatic by media — ATA Secure Erase for SATA SSDs, NVMe Format / sanitize crypto-erase for NVMe, single- and multi-pass overwrite for HDDs, and platform-native crypto-erase for iOS, Android, macOS and Windows BitLocker devices. Verification runs on every wipe and the result is recorded in the signed certificate.

Those tools focus on the erasure step alone. Stenfox Orion delivers the same regulator-grade wipe but combines it with AI cosmetic grading, automated functional diagnostics, signed certificates, chain of custody and marketplace listing APIs — in one platform. Operators that replace a Blancco/BitRaser + Phonecheck/Piceasoft + spreadsheet stack with Orion typically cut tool count by 3–5× and touch-time per unit by ~60%.

Yes. SSDs and NVMe drives require crypto-erase or vendor sanitize commands — overwrite alone is insufficient. Orion issues the correct command per controller, then re-reads sectors with verification. If the device doesn't honour sanitize, Orion flags it for physical destruction rather than silently passing.

Orion uses the platform-native cryptographic erase mechanisms (iOS Effaceable Storage, Android Factory Reset Protection with key destruction, macOS Secure Token / FileVault key destruction) supplemented by an AI-verified post-wipe state check. Each device receives the same signed certificate format as drive-based erasure.

Yes. Orion can run fully offline on a closed network. Certificates are produced locally and synced to the customer portal once the operator reconnects. Common deployment patterns: government ITAD, healthcare and defence contractors who cannot run wipe operations on internet-connected stations.

Each certificate is a signed PDF plus a machine-readable JSON record. It includes serial / IMEI, wipe method, verification result, operator identity, signing key fingerprint and timestamp, plus a hash chain so any post-hoc tampering is detectable. Regulators reviewing GDPR Article 17 'right to erasure', HIPAA disposal rules or SOX retention controls can verify both the act and its integrity.
