Certify company in safe data destruction and recycling

We need to certify our company in the secure erasure of data, either by software methods or by the destruction of disks and that we can demonstrate or certify that the data is irrecoverable for the machines unsubscribed by the client.

 It is possible to certify a secure erasure of data process against ISO 27001, certifying that the process follows the standard's requirements and that the data is irrecoverable from the media where it was stored.

But please note that ISO 27001 does not provide technical guidance on how to perform data disposal. For technical guidance, you need to consider additional references, like NIST special publications.

These articles will provide you a further explanation about ISO 27001, how it can be used for media disposal, and NIST practices:
