O&O SafeErase 22: New User Interface and Digital Deletion Reports

O&O Software announces the release of O&O SafeErase 22. This secure data-deletion software features a completely redesigned user interface, new deletion functions, and digitally signed deletion reports. Enhanced command-line capabilities and administrator policies assist organizations in automating deletion tasks and centrally managing settings.

Whether personal documents, confidential corporate information, or traces of internet usage – sensitive data should not remain on a computer any longer than necessary. O&O SafeErase 22 helps users perform targeted cleanup and provides documentation for all deletion operations. The new version offers direct access to key deletion functions, along with advanced options for control and tracking.

Greater Clarity in Data Deletion

The fully revamped user interface provides quick access to essential deletion functions. An overview displays past deletion operations, allowing users to both initiate new tasks and review previously completed ones.

O&O SafeErase can also provide reminders for regular cleanup, helping users incorporate the deletion of sensitive data into their daily routine.

Targeted Removal of Browser and Windows Traces

O&O SafeErase 22 expands the scope of browser and Windows trace removal, now supporting additional browsers. Specific cookies can be excluded from the deletion process, allowing users to retain selected cookies while removing other browser traces.

Also new is a deletion method – based on NIST/BSI standards – for free space on system partitions and unpartitioned areas. The new version thus expands the range of available erasure methods for these storage areas.

Digital records of erasure processes

Digitally signed erasure certificates, in accordance with NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2, document the erasure procedures that have been performed. Upon request, these records can be timestamped. Companies can incorporate them into their internal documentation to keep a log of which erasure tasks have been carried out.

Automation and centralized management

Enhanced command-line functions allow administrators to integrate erasure tasks into existing workflows and automate recurring operations. This eliminates the need to manually initiate such tasks via the user interface every single time.

Settings can be defined centrally through administrator policies, helping companies ensure a consistent configuration of O&O SafeErase across all their computers.

O&O SafeErase 22 is available now. The recommended retail price is 29.95 USD. A 5-computer license, covering use on up to five machines, is priced at 49.90 USD. All prices include 19% VAT where applicable.
