Data Destruction Versus Asset Destruction

In the past, we’ve discussed the importance of wiping the slate clean when it comes to old computers, tablets, and cell phones. One blog, Hulk Smash! (Discarded Digital Devices), extolled the virtues of bashing the holy heck out of your old equipment before disposing of it (in an e-waste responsible manner, of course). That’s a perfectly good solution for equipment that was headed for the scrap pile anyway, but what about devices that could have a second life someplace else?

EquipNet Technology Services uses Blancco data erasure software to give devices that second chance. Blancco, the recognized world leader in data destruction, ensures complete data erasure of sensitive data within your technology environment.

For you technically minded out there, know that the Blancco Pro solution can dismantle the RAID array, allowing for simultaneous erasures, itemizing each hard drive within a comprehensive report that becomes your digitally secure audit trail. Security is further enhanced through the erasure of locked or hidden sectors such as the DCO (Device Configuration Overlay), the HPA (Host Protected Area), and the sectors.

And the best part is, if Blancco can’t 100% destroy the old data, it automatically recommends physical destruction. So you can get back to that smashing we alluded to.
