The software program overwrites all addressable areas of a disk as well as grown defect areas.
This highly proven software reduces the risk of data compromise when computers are reassigned to different programs, departments or personnel; when systems are removed from operation; and when computers are used in field assignments.
The software can be used in sensitive commercial environments to assure destruction of proprietary computer data. In a national security regulatory environment, UniShred Pro may be used to overwrite disks as part of the declassification process.
UniShred Pro is on the Assessed Products Lists of the Navy and the Air Force and on the In- USE Products List of the Defense Investigative Service.
The software automatically produces a Disk Overwrite Report that can be used to document and verify the overwrite procedure and results.
It avoids the harm that can be caused by removing hard disks from their host systems for physical destruction or for degaussing. It is environmentally safe; avoiding the hazards of chemical oxide removal, including the possible dissipation of oxide materials into the air.
UniShred Pro is the logical software solution that reduces the time, effort and expense of disk removal, transportation, storage, destruction or degaussing.
Fortune 500 corporations, federal and state governments, defense contractors, the military services, and other government agencies rely on UniShred Pro for safe and economical electronic data removal.

Benefits
Overwrites all addressable areas of the disk
Destroys data in all active and deleted data files, file directories, disk allocation tables, boot area, disk label and unallocated addressable disk space.
Overwrites grown defect areas
Destroys data which may have become orphaned in defective areas of the disk.
Partial Disk Overwriting
Overwrites user-specified portions of disks or single disk partition (on disks which support partitions).
Preserve Disk Label Option
Allows disk label to be saved in memory and rewritten to the disk after overwrite for immediate disk reuse without requiring redefinition of partitions.
Automatic Disk Overwrite Report
Procedure and results for each disk overwrite can be printed and saved for permanent records. An overwrite log is also available.
Fast Overwrite
Single pass without verification is available as a custom overwrite pattern when speed is of paramount importance.
Disk Block display
Compact, time-saving method of data examination, displayed in both hexadecimal and ASCII formats.
Interactive Error Resolution
Enables user-specified alternative responses to disk errors. Displays data discrepancies for retry or location-skip. Lists error actions in the audit report.
Predefined Patterns
Broad choice of patterns for specific regulatory compliance.
Custom Patterns
Allows user selected single and multi-pass custom patterns if predefined pattern does not suit user needs.
Configuration File
Permits preselection of frequently used options to assure consistency and repeatability.
Single Disk Option
