NATO Approval Reinforces Blancco's Commitment to Developing the World's Most Secure Erasure Solutions
JOENSUU, Finland, June 6, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
The latest NATO recommendation of Blancco's data erasure software assures government
and security-minded organizations of the complete removal of data from retired and
reassigned PCs
NATO's approval of the most recent version of Blancco Erasure Client v 4.10 HMG
reinforces a commitment by Blancco, the global leader in data erasure and computer reuse
solutions, to continue providing the most globally certified and secure data erasure
products. This latest approval indicates NATO's
[http://www.ia.nato.int/niapc/Product/Blancco-erasure-client-4.10HMG_430 ] recommendation
of the software for erasing data at NATO Secret security levels and follows a similar NATO
approval of a Blancco product in 2007. The software also appears in the prestigious NATO
Information Assurance Product Catalogue (NIACP), providing users with confidence of
complete removal of data from magnetic hard disks on PCs and laptops targeted for
reassignment or disposal.
"Blancco is committed to meeting and exceeding the needs of governments and public
sector organizations around the world as they develop more exacting requirements to
address evolving information security threats," said Kim Vaisanen, CEO and Co-Founder of
Blancco. "Blancco's erasure software not only eliminates data, as approved by NATO and
other agencies, it also provides comprehensive erasure reports for audit and regulatory
purposes, as well as detailed information on hardware health for decisions regarding
resale and reuse."
Capable of simultaneously erasing multiple hard drives to increase erasure process
productivity, Blancco's erasure software has passed extensive disk forensic tests. It also
recently received approval from the Norwegian National Security Authority (NSM
[https://www.nsm.stat.no/Arbeidsomrader/Informasjonssystemsikkerhet/Godkjente-IKT-produkter/Sletteverktoy ]
) for erasure of drives intended for declassification and release for
commercial use, including data at Confidential, Secret and Top Secret security levels. In
addition, Blancco's erasure software has been approved several times since 2004 by the
Communications-Electronics Security Group (CESG)
[http://www.cesg.gov.uk/finda/Pages/CCITSECProduct.aspx?PID3&backpageÌITSECResults.aspx? ]
, the UK Government's National Technical Authority for Information Assurance.

certified data erasure software, adhering to major government and military erasure
standards [http://www.blancco.com/en/benefits/most-certified-data-erasure ]. Blancco
