Offigneum employs multiple advanced security protocols and technologies to ensure that shredded files are completely unrecoverable:

1. 51 Erasure Methods: Offigneum provides 51 advanced shredding algorithms, allowing you to choose the level of security that fits your needs. These methods include military-grade and international standards used by governments and intelligence agencies worldwide, such as the U.S. Department of Defense DoD 5220.22-M (ECE), DoD 5220.22-M (E), DoD 5220.28-M-STD, US Army AR 380-19, US Air Force AFSSI-5020, Canadian RCMP TSSIT OPS-II, British HMG IS5, Peter Gutmann, and other highly trusted protocols. Each algorithm is designed to thoroughly overwrite files in a manner that makes recovery impossible, ensuring your data is completely destroyed and irretrievable - this happens via layered runs consisting of reads, writes, overwrites, and verify checks.

2. Metadata Erasure: Unlike other competitors, Offigneum goes beyond erasing only file content by also shredding file metadata, attributes, and path names. This ensures complete data removal, including the file name (e.g., "my super secret document.docx"), the file path (e.g., "D:\secret folder\more secrets\DO NOT ENTER"), ownership details (e.g., "owned by John Smith"), and metadata such as creation, modification, and access times (e.g., created on June 1, 2024). By erasing this extensive range of information, Offigneum provides unparalleled security, ensuring that no extra information of your files remains.

3. Offigneum's signature shredding algorithm: Offigneum's innovative shredding technology, 'Wiper', adapts in real-time to select the most effective method for each file, ensuring maximum security while minimizing wear on storage devices. Unlike other shredding algorithms that may harm SSDs or NAND-flash memory devices, Wiper fully supports SSDs. It automatically analyzes the file characteristics, device type, file system, and other technical details to choose the optimal shredding method. This approach enhances security, reduces shredding time, and protects your hardware, offering a comprehensive and efficient shredding solution.

Additionally, Offigneum incorporates several other security-focused features to ensure the utmost data protection:

Password Authentication Login: Offigneum offers optional password authentication to access the software. This adds an extra layer of security, ensuring that only authorized users can perform file shredding operations.

Password Authentication Shredding: Offigneum offers an option to confirm every single shredding action with your password, ensuring only you can erase information.

DeleteShield: This amazing feature prevents accidental deletions by requiring users to confirm their actions through user-centric confirmation dialogs. DeleteShield ensures that only the intended files are shredded, protecting against unintentional data loss. Confirmation dialogs might include clicking on a specific element in the picture, rewriting a pair of words, rewriting a sequence of numbers, and more. Still, if you do not need this extra security, you can easily disable DeleteShield completely, or customize it to include or not include certain types of confirmation challenges.

Ambeteco Protect & Ambeteco Connect: These technologies provide exceptional security for your license. Ambeteco Protect uses Machine Learning to combat hacking attempts on your account and safeguards your license, while Ambeteco Connect offers secure, quick, and convenient one-click authentication. These features ensure that your Offigneum license remains secure and protected from unauthorized access, while offering an excellent user experience.

Secure Hashing with Argon2 Encryption: Offigneum uses Argon2, a robust encryption algorithm, to securely hash data. Argon2 is used in Offigneum internally to securely store any important information - such as your password, ensuring that it is impossible to hack or access it.

All these combined technologies ensure that once a file is shredded with Offigneum, it is impossible to recover.

Offigneum is only compatible with Windows operating systems. For macOS users, we recommend trying MacGlacio, which is essentially the macOS equivalent to Offigneum. MacGlacio is a robust file shredding app designed specifically for macOS, offering similar features to Offigneum.

If you have a license for 1 PC, it means you can only use it on one computer at a time. However, you can "remove" your current computer from your license, and then add a new device. This way, you can use your one license on multiple computers by "swapping" them. This is possible thanks to Ambeteco's 'Machine Manager' feature, which lets you easily manage all the devices connected to your license.

With the Machine Manager, you can deactivate the license on one PC and activate it on another when changing computers. You can update your list of allowed machines up to 4 times per month, allowing for a certain flexibility in switching between PCs. This feature is helpful if you only need to run Offigneum occasionally on another PC, rather than daily. However, if you intend to use Offigneum on multiple computers regularly, we recommend purchasing the appropriate number of licenses instead of relying on this method.
