Southeast Asian IT Solutions Leader
A 20+ year old IT solutions company serving SMEs to MNCs across Southeast Asia partnered with D-Secure to securely erase over 250 TB of sensitive file and folder data — smoothly and without disruption to ongoing operations.
What the organization was facing
As a managed IT services and digital transformation provider, the client regularly handles sensitive file-level data on behalf of its enterprise customers — ranging from HR records and financial documents to project files retired during migrations, offboarding, or infrastructure refreshes. Standard file deletion methods left this data recoverable and produced no verifiable record of destruction. With clients spanning regulated industries and large file volumes — including individual files of very large sizes — the organization needed a way to erase data reliably at scale, without slowing down day-to-day IT operations or requiring custom infrastructure.
How D-Secure addressed the challenge
D-Secure File Eraser gave the client a straightforward, scalable way to erase files and folders across storage environments — including large individual files — while generating a documented, tamper-evident record for every erasure job. The solution was built to handle high-volume, large-chunk data erasure smoothly, allowing the team to retire sensitive data as part of routine workflows rather than as a separate, resource-heavy exercise.
Technical steps and deployment details
High-speed large-scale file erasure — Over 250 TB of file and folder data was securely erased in just 4 days without performance issues or job failures.
File & folder-level targeting — Erasure was applied precisely at the file and folder level, avoiding the need to wipe entire drives when only specific data needed to be destroyed.
Smooth handling of large data chunks — Large-size files were processed reliably as part of bulk erasure jobs, supporting the scale the organization operates at.
Documented erasure records — Every job produced a verifiable report generated using the Full Verification method, giving the client absolute evidence of destruction for compliance needs.
This client successfully leveraged D-Secure File Eraser to achieve secure and permanent data destruction. The solution provided a professional, structured way to wipe 250+ TB of sensitive business data without having to wipe entire drives.
