The secure erasure process performed on our devices is compliant with [NIST SP 800-88 Revision 2](https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/NIST.SP.800-88r2.pdf). Customers also receive a Secure Erasure Certificate which is auto-generated as part of the cleanup process and is available directly from the Azure portal once the order is completed. The certificate is downloadable and confirms all data on the device has been securely erased along with the implementation details required by NIST standards, thus enhancing security assurance and simplifying compliance for highly regulated and sensitive scenarios.
