Independent UK lab confirms data unrecoverable using forensic tools
London, UK – August 5, 2025 – Ziperase announced today that its Device Link software has achieved ADISA Product Claims Test certification for Mac data erasure, proving that Device Link permanently destroys data beyond recovery, even against sophisticated forensic attacks.
The certification was awarded by the UK-based Asset Disposal and Information Security Alliance (ADISA) following rigorous independent testing at the ADISA Research Centre. Device Link achieved ADISA Assurance Level 4 after passing Test Level 2 evaluation, proving that data is completely unrecoverable, even by sophisticated forensic methods.
Certification Standards
ADISA Test Level 2 represents protection against “motivated, targeted threat actors such as organised crime, journalists, or hackers applying laboratory methods.” The testing process uses advanced attacks with specialist hardware and software to interrogate devices at both the interface and component levels, employing both commercial off-the-shelf forensic tools and proprietary ADISA techniques.
Assurance Level 4 represents one of the highest certifications awarded by ADISA, indicating the product consistently renders data unrecoverable against advanced threat scenarios.
ADISA Certification is a UKAS-accredited, UK-GDPR approved independent certification body that specializes in data protection and sanitization verification. The organization is recognized by the UK Ministry of Defence and has developed data sanitization standards adopted by the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
