Extech Ewaste Solutions Partners with YouWipe to Deliver Defense-Grade Data Security in New Zealand

Extech Ewaste Solutions is proud to announce a strategic partnership with YouWipe, a global leader in certified data erasure. This collaboration brings defense-grade data sanitization to New Zealand organizations, ensuring sensitive information is permanently destroyed while keeping hardware functional for a sustainable future.

Why This Partnership Matters

In an era of increasing data breaches and strict privacy regulations, “shredding” hard drives is no longer the only—or most sustainable—answer. By integrating YouWipe’s forensic-proof software, Extech offers a “Wipe-First” approach that balances maximum security with environmental responsibility.

Certified, Forensic-Proof Security

YouWipe software is internationally recognized for its ability to permanently erase data across all storage media, including SSDs, NVMe, traditional magnetic drives, and mobile devices. Our clients now benefit from a process that is:

• Tamper-Proof & Audit-Ready: Every device wiped generates a unique, digitally signed Certificate of Erasure.
• Globally Certified: Meets Common Criteria EAL3+ standards and complies with NIST 800-88, NATO (NCIA), and NCSC requirements.
• Regulatory Compliant: Fully supports organizations in meeting local and international data privacy laws.

“This partnership allows our clients to securely erase data without destroying valuable hardware, aligning with both security and sustainability goals. It’s about giving businesses confidence that their data is gone, but their environmental footprint is minimized.” — The Extech Leadership Team

Security Meets Sustainability

By choosing certified erasure over physical destruction, New Zealand businesses can

1. Reduce E-Waste: Prevent functional electronics from entering landfills.
2. Extend Asset Lifecycles: Repurpose or resell hardware within the circular economy.
3. Ensure Compliance: Maintain a 100% auditable trail for every retired IT asset.
