Can't buy the cards you need?
Reuse the ones you have.
Memory and storage prices keep rising, lead times are extending, and genuine industrial cards are getting harder to source. Many of the cards in your fleet could still have years of life left. We read each card's real health, grade it, erase it to NIST 800-88 and certify it, whether you send ten cards or ten thousand. The good ones go back into service at about a third of the cost of new, with no supply issues. Every card comes with a certificate and its own passport, and our other services add monitoring.

We saw a gap, and built to fill it.
Storage media is everywhere your operation runs: cameras, vehicles, machines, instruments. It carries data you can’t afford to leak, lose or get wrong, and yet it’s the part nobody really looks after.
Checking a card meant a lab or a leap of faith. Erasing it properly, and proving you had, was harder than it should be. The market is awash with counterfeits, and no one had joined up testing, wiping, certifying and monitoring into a single service you could trust.
So we built the tools, then the line, then the platform to close that gap. Today we help organisations manage, protect and prove their media with evidence, not trust.
A third of the price of new
Recertifying an industrial card costs about a third of buying it new, and it is available now rather than next quarter. The used cards in your fleet are stock, not scrap.
We built the tools
Our ASTRID devices read a card's true health and spot counterfeits on the spot. The same technology backs every service we run.
Proof, not promises
Every card and drive leaves with a certificate and a chain of custody you can hand to an auditor, an insurer or a court.
