Local execution, remote visibility
Every wipe runs directly on the hardware -- no internet dependency for the actual operation. When connectivity is available, watch it happen live from any browser, anywhere.
Works Online and Offline
Many ITAD facilities do not have reliable internet. Some operate in secure environments where connectivity is restricted. Cloud-only tools stop working. Local-only tools lose the benefits of centralized data and reporting.
The reCore client works fully offline. Internet is not required for any testing, wiping, or grading operations. When connectivity comes back, everything syncs automatically to the cloud. No data is ever lost.
- Log in once while connected -- the system gives you a 24-hour offline pass
- Disconnect from internet -- keep working normally
- Run all 23 diagnostic tests, all 7 wipe methods, grading, printing -- everything works
- All results are saved locally on the machine
- Reconnect to internet -- everything syncs automatically
- Nothing is ever lost. Every record is stored locally until the cloud confirms receipt
| Capability | Offline | Online |
|---|---|---|
| All 23 diagnostic tests | Yes | Yes |
| All 7 wipe methods | Yes | Yes |
| Cosmetic grading | Yes | Yes |
| Session management | Yes | Yes |
| Sticker/label printing | Yes | Yes |
| Certificate generation | Yes | Yes |
| Live dashboard monitoring | -- | Yes |
| Report downloads | -- | Yes |
If the internet connection is unstable, the system automatically retries and recovers. If the live connection drops, it reconnects on its own. Your work is never interrupted.
Hybrid Data Wipe
Existing wipe tools are either fully local (no centralized records, no way to monitor remotely) or fully cloud-dependent (cannot wipe without internet). Neither works well for real ITAD operations.
reCore uses a hybrid system where the wipe runs locally on the device -- directly on the hardware -- while the dashboard shows you what is happening from anywhere in the world. This is the most important thing that sets reCore apart.
The wipe itself always runs locally. The entire data erasure process happens on the machine in front of the technician, directly at the hardware level. No data travels through the internet. No cloud dependency for the actual wipe operation.
The dashboard gives you remote visibility. When internet is available, you can monitor every wipe in real time from any browser, anywhere. An admin in New York can watch a wipe happening in a warehouse in Singapore -- live progress, speed, and estimated time remaining.
What internet is used for (and nothing else):
- Monitoring: watching live wipe progress and status on the dashboard
- Certificate consolidation: wipe records syncing to the central server
- Certificate verification: admin reviewing and approving completed wipes
Every physical drive gets its own independent wipe record. A laptop with one SSD gets one record. A server with five drives gets five separate records, each tied to that specific drive. Real-time progress tracking per drive -- percentage complete, speed, and time remaining.
Triple Verification
Every wipe goes through three independent verification steps. This three-layer approach means a wipe can never be faked, missed, or signed off by the wrong person.
1. Operator Verification
The technician who performed the wipe confirms completion at the station.
2. System Verification
The software automatically reads random samples across the entire drive after wiping to confirm all data has been removed, and generates a cryptographic proof that the drive is clean.
3. Admin Verification
A separate administrator (the system enforces this cannot be the same person who did the wipe) reviews the record and approves or rejects the certificate.
Auditors specifically look for this kind of controls separation, and reCore enforces it automatically. The person who approves a wipe certificate physically cannot be the same person who performed the wipe.
NIST SP 800-88 Rev 2 Compliance
reCore follows NIST SP 800-88 Revision 2, the latest and most current guideline for media sanitization. This is the standard that all major certification bodies reference. Using it as the foundation means you are automatically aligned with the requirements for R2 and e-Stewards certifications.
Seven wipe methods are available, covering Clear, Purge, and Destroy categories. The system automatically recommends the best method based on what type of drive it detects.
- Documented wipe methods with full chain of custody
- Separation of duties enforced at the system level
- Audit trail with timestamps and actor identity
- Certificate generation with integrity verification
- Compliance records generated automatically from normal operations
