JOENSUU, Finland - Blancco Solidifies Position as Provider of World's Most Certified Data Erasure Software With Approvals From Mexico's SFP and UK's CESG Government Approval Bodies
Blancco, the global leader in data erasure and computer reuse solutions, today confirmed its commitment to providing the world's most certified data erasure software with the announcement of two government certifications.
Blancco has been certified as an official supplier of the Mexican government by the Secretaria de la Funcion Publica (SFP). In addition, the UK government's Defence Infosec Product Cooperation Group (DIPCOG) has approved a new version of Blancco software for use by its Ministry of Defence (MoD).
"These certifications represent Blancco's global emphasis on serving the rapidly-changing needs of the public sector for safe, cost effective ways to remove data and reuse, sell or donate IT assets," said Kim Vaisanen, CEO and Co-Founder of Blancco. "We are proud to be the only data erasure solution provider certified by Mexico with a local office in the country. Likewise, we are pleased to extend our relationship with the UK's Ministry of Defence."
With certification from SFP, the Mexican ministry that supervises and audits government purchases, all government departments may now purchase products directly from Blancco, including the army, Ministry of Treasury, and police. In the UK, DIPCOG formally approved Blancco's CESG (National Technical Authority for Information Assurance) certified data erasure software, 4.10HMG, for MoD use, adding it to the CESG Directory of Infosec Assured Products. The UK approval follows similar CESG certifications in 2003, 2006 and 2008, and 2010.
Through its support of current SFP and CESG guidelines, Blancco continues to provide the world's most comprehensively certified data erasure software, adhering to major government and military erasure standards.
