The PSIClone™, a hand-held hard drive cloning and forensic tool that can be used to verify whether a hard drive has been completely degaussed has been launched by a leader in the data security industry, Data Devices International.

Companies and organizations, with increasingly stringent laws regulating the disposal and treatment of electronic data - such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, need to be vigilant about how their sensitive data is redeployed, processed, discarded and destroyed. For decommissioned hard drives, degaussing is one of the best solutions. One of the best combinations available today for physical data security is Degaussing in conjunction with the PSIClone's hard drive erasure verification.

Easily managed using the CPR Toolbox companion software, the PSIClone is a hand-held device that plugs directly into a computer via USB cable. So the user has a complete audit trail, which is easily printed through your computer, every session is logged.

Not only does the PSIClone function as a hard drive erasure verification tool, it also clones with built-in write blocker, images, and erases hard drives, making this hand-held unit is ideal for any computer forensic toolkit.

PSIClone can be configured to do a software overwrite of the drive so the data will be unrecoverable if it detects data on the drive.

The drives are ready to be handed off to a third party for recycling, physical destruction or disposal, once a department has verified its hard drives are completely erased and the data is unrecoverable.

The PSIClone is designed and manufactured by experts in the field of data recovery for nearly three decades, CPR Tools.
