Securely wipe or clean iOS devices with new Data Shredder for iOS 2

August 14, 2017
Protectstar Inc. today announces the new version 2.0 of Data Shredder for iOS, their data deletion solution for iOS devices. By simply connecting their iOS device to any Mac or Windows computer and running Data Shredder for iOS, anyone can securely erase and wipe all used space on their device, ensuring all personal data, including passwords, videos, photos, and more can never be recovered. The app is perfect for use before donating or selling a used iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or even Apple TV.

Data Shredder for iOS 2 uses data shredding techniques that go beyond international standards set by state and military organizations for secure data deletion. Data Shredder's data erasing algorithms have been analyzed by government authorities and independent security organizations to ensure the app does exactly as advertised, destroy all personal data on the device beyond any hope of recovery.

"When a user deletes personal files such as photos and videos from their device, they may think they're gone for good. The truth is, they can be recovered using any one of a number of utilities for macOS or Windows. Those files aren't really gone until that storage space is overwritten using secure deletion algorithms," says Chris Bohn, CEO of Protectstar. "However, in just some simple steps, Data Shredder for iOS can securely delete the freespace using patented security standards, making it impossible to recover any deleted data."

The new integrated secure cleaning module with its innovative search and collection algorithm was designed specifically to detect and effectively clean up useless temporary junk data, caches, log files and more. It not only brings back valuable storage space to the mobile device, it also ensures a performance tuning just like having a new device.

Even the new secure cleaning module does not simply remove temporary data, it is able to safely wipe those files by using the ISM 6.2.92 deletion procedure certified by the Australian Ministry of Defense.

Detailed deletion and cleaning reports provide users an evidence of deletion and cleaned data.

Data Shredder for iOS 2 is available in two versions, the Professional Edition offers 11 different data shredding methods, completely wiping all free space and overwriting the storage area, to completely shred all of the stored data. Data Shredder Military Edition offers 18 erasing methods in total, while also offering an integrated file explorer.

* Advanced deletion reports

Data Shredder for iOS Military Edition includes the above features, plus:
* Offers the ability to wipe data from Apple TV units

Data Shredder for iOS Professional uses certified deletion algorithms, including: DoD 5220.22-M ECE, Peter Gutmann, DoD 5220.22-M, HMG Infosec No.5, German BSI-2011-VS, US Army AR380-19 and more.

Data Shredder for iOS Military Edition uses those same algorithms, plus makes use of enhanced military deletion methods like NATO standard, US Navy NAVSO P-5239-26 (MFM & RLL), USAF AFSSI-5020, German BSI TL-03423 and CSEC ITSG-06.

"Your iOS device contains all the information about your personal life," continues Chris Bohn. „Data containing notes, passwords, address book, photos, videos, calendars and so much more. By using Data Shredder for iOS, anyone can ensure their personal information remains completely inaccessible. The few moments it takes to securely erase all of the personal information left on your device can pay off in piece of mind, simply by knowing your data is not available to prying eyes."
