Blancco Earns DIPCOG Approval for File, Mobile and LUN Data Erasure Products
LONDON, September 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
UK's Defence Infosec Product Co-Operation Group (DIPCOG) approves erasure
software for use with mobile devices, logical units (LUNs) and individual files
For the first time, the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) and other government departments
and agencies have access to DIPCOG-approved data erasure products
[http://www.blancco.com/en/benefits/most-certified-data-erasure ] for tablets, smartphones,
and LUNs from Blancco [http://www.blancco.com ], the global leader in data erasure and
computer reuse solutions. Blancco Mobile and Blancco LUN have been approved to remove data
classified up to the Official Sensitive (OS) level, making them the only solutions of
their type to achieve this approval level. DIPCOG also stipulated that the products can
receive a higher classification at the discretion of an agency's Head of Security (PSyA).

"Blancco is proud to receive these approvals from DIPCOG, as it demonstrates once
again our commitment to maintaining the world's most certified data erasure products in
the face of ever-changing information security challenges and technologies," said Kim
Väisänen, Managing Director of Blancco. "Our automated, efficient solutions will enable
the MOD and other agencies to secure sensitive information, safely reuse valuable
equipment, and achieve environmental, manpower and cost benefits, while also receiving a
detailed, auditable report to prove erasure."
Blancco's data erasure solutions directly overwrite the whole storage capacity with
redundant data. Unlike physical destruction, overwriting leaves the equipment functional
so it can be reused instead of destroyed, as often happens with equipment containing
sensitive data. The DIPCOG approved products include:
- Blancco Mobile
[http://www.blancco.com/uk/products/total-data-erasure/mobile ] securely erases
internal memory of smartphones or tablets, protecting against data compromise when
disposing of these devices, which may contain sensitive or highly classified data.
- Blancco LUN [http://www.blancco.com/uk/products/selective-data-erasure/lun ]
erases individual drives, as well as logical drives (such as LUNs), in an active
storage environment. It simultaneously erases multiple units of any disk drive type
supported by UNIX, Linux and Microsoft Windows (including ATA, SCSI, FC and iSCSI),
offering an automated and cost-effective alternative to destroying valuable
equipment.
In addition to the DIPCOG approvals for Blancco LUN and Blancco Mobile, Blancco File
[http://www.blancco.com/uk/products/selective-data-erasure/file ] was again approved by
DIPCOG for secure erasure of selected files and folders on active systems. This software
protects against data compromise when sensitive or highly classified data is placed on
devices of a lower classification.
