Introduction: Die, Data, Die
Use Cases
Software-based data erasure ensures that data is completely unrecoverable on both magnetic and flash-based storage technologies.
Secure, repeatable IT asset decommissioning processes are critical for regulation compliance, data protection, data retention and audit-ready record keeping, when you are:
– Preparing to return leased equipment to a technology vendor
– Moving technology assets from one department or employee to another for reuse
– Decommissioning devices for resale, recycling or physical destruction—either in-house or through an ITAD vendor
– Retiring old data processing and storage technologies
Data erasure is the software-based method of securely overwriting data from any data storage device using zeros and ones onto all sectors of the device. By overwriting the data on the storage device, the data is rendered unrecoverable and achieves data sanitization.
– Includes verification & certification with every erasure
– Supports environmental initiatives
– Allows organizations to retain the resale value of the storage devices
Enterprise Data Centers Must Document and Enforce Compliant Operations.
When enterprise-owned or managed mobile assets reach their end-of-life or are defective, organizations will take differing steps to determine the next course of action for those devices.
Enterprises that provide employees with purchased devices may require a solution that works alongside their existing mobile device management (MDM) processes.
Blancco offers a variety of enterprise mobile management solutions to maximize efficiency and accuracy, paying close attention to the varying needs of enterprise mobile management customers.
Certifiably erase data before, during, and after enterprise cloud migration projects.
Secure data erasure ensures you’ve eliminated redundant data from your original servers or cloud instances.
Also, by erasing redundant, obsolete, or trivial (ROT) data before the changeover, you’ll increase data security, slow data spread, and reduce data storage needs.
Data Lifecycle Management: Beyond Asset Disposal
Data erasure is often managed as part of asset disposal, ensuring sensitive information is wiped before hardware leaves the organization. But data lifecycles don’t always match device lifecycles—some data must be removed earlier, some retained longer.
Automated Execution for Compliance and Security
With Blancco, data lifecycle tasks like retention and erasure are automated—minimizing human error, reducing risk, and saving IT time. Even forgotten end-user files are securely erased in line with your policies and compliance needs.
Blancco Enterprise Solutions offer certified data erasure for client storage assets, with a tamper-proof Certificate of Erasure issued for each erasure.
This enables customers to securely erase data while preserving devices
