PC Disposal and Data Protection

 

When planning IT disposals, whether from a large corporation, small business or school, data protection is of the utmost importance. Not only is security of data a legal requirement under the Data Protection Act 1998, ensuring removal of all data from your redundant equipment is an essential way to protect against the catastrophic losses of credibility and trust that can result from leaks of information.

At Digital Links, we ensure that all data is irretrievably removed from all data-bearing equipment. The process is fully traceable, with data cleansed equipment given a unique “sanitiser code” only when the process is 100% complete – this prevents the possibility of any item ever slipping through the net.

We use Blancco, which erases all existing data up to Confidential, Secret and Top Secret levels. Blancco covers all international standards, and is the only product certified by:
- CESG Infosec
British National Technical Authority for Information Assurance according to specifications set in HMM Infosec Standard No: 5
- DIPCOG
The British Defence Infosec Product Cooperation Group
- NSTL
National Software Test Laboratories in the UK
- US DoD 5220.22-M (meets and exceeds data security standards)
US Department of Defence

Blancco Data Cleaner is also the only commercially insured product.

“When I first used the computer I was very excited because it was a privilege to me because there are many children who would have loved to have the same opportunity in life but they may never get the same chance as me. This will give me much experience as computer literacy is now a prerequisite where ever you want to work. I am now certain that I stand a better chance of succeeding in life.”
Paul Prins, Digital Links computer user, South Africa
