This independent forensic audit certification demonstrates that Cedar’s erasure processes have been rigorously tested against advanced recovery techniques. It provides clients with assurance that once data is erased, it cannot be recovered, satisfying compliance for industries with the strictest security requirements.

NIST Special Publication 800-88 Revision 1

Cedar Enterprise complies with NIST SP 800-88 R1: Guidelines for Media Sanitization, a globally adopted framework used across government, defense, healthcare, and enterprise organizations. By following the prescribed methods of Clear, Purge, and Destroy, our workflows demonstrate that data is irretrievable once sanitization is complete, meeting U.S. federal requirements for secure erasure.

U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)

Cedar Enterprise adheres to the data protection and sanitization principles outlined by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for safeguarding sensitive information across federal infrastructure and contractor environments. Our sanitization processes align with DHS security directives and Information Assurance (IA) controls designed to prevent unauthorized disclosure of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and other sensitive federal data.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Cedar Enterprise’s erasure workflows are aligned with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which requires personal data to be securely and permanently removed when no longer necessary for processing. Our solutions support Article 17 (Right to Erasure) and Article 32 (Security of Processing), helping clients reduce compliance risk and demonstrate accountability to regulators and customers.
