Data Erasure Integration with Active Directory
Adding another standalone piece of software into your IT environment is hard to justify – unless it can be deployed and managed centrally. With Blancco file remover software, you can use your existing Active Directory management of your users and their privileges to deploy MSI packages for “silent installations” onto any machine, enforcing data retention policies and maintaining compliance with a comprehensive audit trail.
Enforce Data Retention Policies Quickly and Easily
Blancco File Eraser allows you to reduce system complexity, simplify management and streamline the enforcement of your data retention policies. This leads to heightened data security, audit compliance and increased productivity amongst your IT team and end users.
