The new iShredder Mac 2 Offers Military Grade Data Deletion

Using the same data shredding techniques as their popular iShredder iOS app, Protectstar's iShredder Mac securely and efficiently erases data using secure erasure algorithms that meet and exceed government, military, and industry standards. The app eliminates any chance for data reconstruction, even by government agencies.

"Many users believe that when they delete files from their Mac's hard drive, that they're gone for good. The truth is, the files can be recovered using any one of a number of macOS disk utilities. That's due to the way computers "delete" files. They don't really remove the data, they simply mark the files as deleted," says Chris Bohn, CEO of Protectstar. "Files aren't really gone forever until that storage space is overwritten using secure deletion algorithms. iShredder Mac securely overwrites the 'deleted' files using patented security standards, making it impossible to recover any deleted data."

The latest version of iShredder Mac 2 includes a new innovative search and collection algorithm to detect and effectively clean up useless temporary junk data, caches, and log files on the Mac as well as macOS snapshots. With just a push of a button, iShredder Mac not only brings back valuable storage space to your Macbook or iMac, it also ensures a performance tuning. This ensures that the files that contain fragments of your personal data are erased.

The new release of iShredder Mac 2 is also fully compliant with the European privacy legislation (GDPR).

iShredder Mac 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. The iShredder Mac Military Edition offers 18 erasing methods in total, while also offering advanced deletion reports.

iShredder Mac 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. iShredder Mac Mac Military Edition uses those same algorithms. Plus, it makes use of enhanced military deletion methods like NATO standard, US Navy NAVSO P-5239-26 (MFM & RLL), USAF AFSSI-5020, BSI TL-03423 and CSEC ITSG-06. Each algorithm has been analyzed by independent authorities and organizations to ensure it really does what it promises, which is destroy data beyond any hope of restoration.
