In their own words

D-Secure File Eraser

D-Secure File Eraser overwrites file data at the sector level with the aim of making it unrecoverable. It can target files and folders, unallocated space and MFT data, cached cloud-sync copies, network shares, archives and full volumes. The product lists more than 27 sanitization algorithms, including NIST Clear/Purge, DoD, Gutmann, HMG IS5 and RCMP standards. Erasure jobs can run through CLI or REST API, webhooks, Windows Task Scheduler, cron and Group Policy hooks. Administrators can remotely execute and monitor jobs across endpoints with the Cloud Console. Each erasure produces a digitally signed PDF report containing a file hash, algorithm, pass count, operator ID and UTC timestamp; the maker also describes WORM-compliant audit logs. It says AES-256-CBC encryption is applied before overwriting, and interrupted erasures leave data cryptographically inaccessible. Windows, macOS and Linux are supported. The annual subscription starts at $40 a year, and a 30-day trial is available; there is no free plan.
