COMPLIANCE

IEEE 2883-2022 Standard for Sanitizing Storage

Cedar Enterprise’s erasure processes align with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 2883-2022 Standard, the latest international benchmark defining Clear, Purge, and Destroy requirements for HDDs, SSDs, and NVMe drives. Compliance with IEEE 2883-2022 ensures our methods are vendor-agnostic, future-proof, and internationally recognized as meeting the highest level of sanitization assurance.

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.

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.
