You keep throwing around the 'ISO Certified' tag as if it had some special meaning. Certified to what standard? It makes a difference. If they are certified to the 9001 standard, for example, all it means is that they have written procedures and they follow them. That's all it means. ISO 9001 certification is actually pretty easy to get. The companies that fail to get it are trying to hard. They come up with procedures that sound great but are impossible to follow. That's not what certification means. If I have a software company and write up a procedure that says "all code will be developed on a laptop while sitting in a Starbucks" and actually follow that procedure, then I can be an "ISO Certified" company. As for disk destruction... I don't know nor pretend to know what can and can not be recovered. Take a look at https://www.dss.mil/portal/ShowBinary/BEA%20Repository/new_dss_internet/isp/odaa/documents/clear_n_san_matrix_06282007_rev_11122007.pdf The DSS (Defense Security Service, part of the DoD) calls what you have done "clearing" the disk. It does not "sanitize" the disk. To sanitize you need to either degauss or destroy the disk. // marc
