WIPERAPP and HitITgroup Confirm Certified Data Erasure Support for Apple M5 Devices WIPERAPP, in partnership with HitITgroup, confirms full support for Apple Silicon M5-generation devices — including the MacBook Pro and iPad Pro models released from October 2025 onwards. As corporate refresh cycles accelerate and Apple Silicon becomes the dominant architecture in enterprise fleets, secure and verifiable data destruction for these devices has become one of the most critical challenges in end-of-life asset management. Apple Silicon's unified memory architecture and hardware-level security integration require purpose-built erasure methodology that goes far beyond conventional disk-wiping tools. WIPERAPP meets this challenge with a process compliant with NIST 800-88, ADISA, and certified to Common Criteria EAL4+ — one of very few data erasure solutions on the European market to hold all three certifications. With confirmed support now extended to M5 hardware, WIPERAPP delivers the same audit-grade erasure certificate across the entire Apple Silicon range: from M1 through the latest M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max chips.

"Apple Silicon devices — especially MacBook Pros — now make up a significant share of corporate hardware refresh volumes," said Daniel Dembiński, Business Development, HitITgroup. "ITAD operators and asset managers need a solution that doesn't just wipe a drive — it needs to produce a legally defensible, standards-compliant erasure certificate that satisfies GDPR obligations, client contracts, and downstream remarketing requirements. WIPERAPP delivers exactly that, and now fully covers M5."

The update is particularly relevant for ITAD operators handling high-value Apple hardware in volume. WIPERAPP's enterprise workflow supports batch processing, remote erasure verification, and full chain-of-custody reporting — capabilities increasingly required by enterprise clients auditing their data destruction partners. WIPERAPP and HitITgroup will be exhibiting at EBMI 2026 (E-Waste & ITAD Business Meeting International), Frankfurt Messe, June 17–18, 2026. Attendees are invited to visit the stand for live demonstrations on Apple Silicon hardware and to discuss certification, licensing, and integration options.
