Blancco File Eraser (previously known as Blancco File Shredder) goes beyond today’s regular file shredding software to guarantee your files are eliminated with a certified report that achieves true data sanitization requirements. With this report, you prove adherence to algorithm standards specified by the U.S. Department of Defense (Standard 5220.22-M) and 21 other standards, to meet security and regulatory compliance requirements.
With Blancco File Eraser, organizations can securely erase sensitive files and folders from PC desktop computers, laptops and servers-either manually or automatically. While typical file shredding or wiping software may delete some data, Blancco File Eraser securely erases files and folders to comply with the most stringent requirements to ensure that any sensitive data has been securely and permanently removed, certified by the most regulatory bodies—including Common Criteria—and verified with a 100% tamper-proof report.
