Certified data erasure that auditors actually accept.

Yes. Orion follows the Clear and Purge guidance of NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 and Rev. 2. The method is chosen per media type, and Purge uses the drive's own sanitize commands (ATA Secure Erase, NVMe Sanitize or Format) where the media supports it. Results are verified by read-back and recorded in the signed report. Stenfox holds no third-party certification; the reporting is built around NIST SP 800-88, IEEE 2883, ADISA, R2v3, GDPR and GSMA.

Legacy erasure suites and standalone drive erasers focus on the erasure step. Orion covers the same step with 22 selectable methods and read-back verification, and adds diagnostics, lock and ID checks, grading, labels and a signed report per device on the same platform. Phones, tablets, smart TVs, Macs, PCs and drives run through one console instead of several single-purpose tools.

Yes. On flash media, Orion uses the drive's own sanitize commands, ATA Secure Erase for SATA SSDs and NVMe Sanitize or Format for NVMe, where the media supports them. The result is verified by read-back and recorded in the signed report. A failed verification is reported as a fail.

Phones and tablets get a factory reset (erase all content and settings) or a full firmware restore, with a verified outcome. On Android, Orion runs an on-device wipe and then a factory reset. Macs are restored through firmware restore (DFU) end to end. Smart TVs of any brand get a factory reset through a small relay unit, with a verified outcome of pass, fail or unconfirmed; unconfirmed never counts as a pass.

On computers and drives, Orion offers 22 methods: NIST SP 800-88 Clear and Purge, US DoD 5220.22-M (3-pass) and 5220.22-M ECE (7-pass), US DoD 5200.28-STD, British HMG IS5 (Baseline and 3-pass), Peter Gutmann (35-pass), Bruce Schneier (7-pass), German VSITR, Russian GOST R 50739-95, Canadian RCMP TSSIT OPS-II, US Air Force AFSSI 5020, US Army AR 380-19, NAVSO P-5239-26, NATO standard, NCSG-TG-025, Pfitzner, pseudo-random, pseudo-random and zeroes, random-random-zero, and zeroes.

Each device gets a signed report recording the device, the method, the verification result, the operator and the time. A scannable label prints on any standard label printer, and the full history stays in Stenfox Portal, so an auditor can trace every device from intake to disposition. The report is evidence for GDPR, HIPAA, SOX and PCI-DSS audits.
