Protectstar Presents iShredder iOS 5: Permanently and Securely Erase Sensitive Data from Your iPhone

March 05, 2025
Having personal information fall into the wrong hands is a nightmare. The new iShredder iOS 5 provides a straightforward and reliable solution with certified wiping methods to permanently erase sensitive data before your Apple iOS devices are sold, passed on, or disposed of. While a simple factory reset may still leave traces, iShredder guarantees the secure removal of all data according to the highest international and military security standards, such as DoD 5220.22-M, NIST SP 800-88, and BSI (TL-03423).

iShredder iOS: A Continuing Success Story
Even in previous versions, iShredder iOS established itself as the leading solution for forensically secure data deletion on Apple devices. Where a simple factory reset often fails to remove all digital traces, iShredder iOS overwrites storage multiple times, ensuring true irrecoverability. Millions of users worldwide—including government agencies and businesses—trust this tool.

“Our mission is to develop powerful yet easy-to-use security solutions that protect everyone’s privacy. With the new iShredder iOS 5, we continue that commitment by delivering secure data deletion at a new level,” explains Chris Bohn, Founder and CEO of Protectstar.


What’s New in iShredder iOS 5:

  • Optimized for Apple Silicon: Runs natively and lightning-fast on Macs with Apple M-chips (M1, M2, M3, and M4).
  • Simplicity Meets Power: An intuitive user interface ensures easy operation, quick wipe processes, and optimal stability—perfect for both beginners and professionals.
  • Convenient Dark Mode: The built-in Dark Mode is gentle on the eyes and improves readability.
  • Wiping Passcode-Locked Devices: Securely erase even passcode-locked iPhones (not iCloud Lock)—ideal for administrators and security officers.
     

Maximum Security with Recognized International Standards:

  • Supports Over 20 Certified Wiping Methods: Includes military and international standards like DoD 5220.22-M, NIST SP 800-88, BSI-VS-2011, NATO Standard, Gutmann, and more.
  • GDPR-Compliant: A detailed wipe report serves as proof that all sensitive data has been permanently removed.
  • Cross-Platform Availability: iOS, Android, Windows, Windows Server, and macOS—for a unified and highly efficient IT security strategy for secure data deletion.

Three Editions for Different Needs:

  • Professional Edition (starting at EUR 29.95): Ideal for private users and small businesses looking to quickly and securely delete sensitive data.
  • Military Edition (starting at EUR 49.95): For security-conscious users, companies, and IT administrators who must meet the highest military security requirements.
  • Business Edition (starting at EUR 785): Perfect for IT departments needing to efficiently and securely erase larger numbers of devices.

Free Upgrade for Existing Customers
All existing customers with a valid license can upgrade to iShredder iOS 5 at no cost.
