Blancco Expands Global Presence by Opening Three New Area Offices
JOENSUU, Finland, February 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
- New Offices in Spain, Italy, and Canada Address Compliance Awareness and Challenges Through Certified Data Erasure Solutions With Broad Hardware Support and Reporting Functionality
After a nearly 40% jump in sales for 2010 fueled by an increasing number of global and regional data security regulations, Blancco, the global leader in data erasure and end-of-lifecycle solutions, has announced the opening of three new area offices. The Blancco offices in Spain, Italy and Canada will offer increased support for a growing customer base in those areas, while building awareness about regulatory requirements and the importance of data erasure as IT security best practice.
"More than 50 countries have specific data security mandates, as well as broader entities like the European Union and Payment Card Industry (PCI) Security Standards Council, and erasure of data from electronic media set for retirement or reassignment is often a requirement for compliance," said Kim Vaisanen, CEO of Blancco. "Despite these growing legislative and industry demands, mostcompanies still do not have an official data erasure policy, leaving them open to costly data breaches in terms of fines and damaged reputation. With 13 offices around the world, Blancco is committed to helping companies secure data and meet or exceed regulatory compliance."
As the world's most certified data erasure software, Blancco's data erasure solutions adhere to all major government and military erasure standards for overwriting data on hard drives. Unlike standard wiping tools or freeware, Blancco erasure can remove all data - even on hidden and remapped sectors - while providing a detailed, auditable erasure report for proof of compliance. From computers and servers to smartphones, netbooks and mass storage devices, Blancco data erasure software delivers advanced data erasure technology to the widest range of platformsin the industry.
