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.
