Erase IT: industry leading data wiping software and hard drive shredding

Data wiping a group of recovered computer laptops with Blancco® Data Cleaner

Sims Recycling Solutions recognises that data security is often the primary concern of IT departments when selecting an asset recovery partner. That’s why we have had a long association with world leading data erasure specialist Blancco® and offer physical data destruction. Sims also has a mobile service bringing data wiping and hard drive shredding to your premises, meaning that your business critical company and customer data need never leave your site.

Sims Recycling Solutions uses Blancco® Data Cleaner, the world’s leading secure data destruction tool. It is so integral to our operations that it is embedded within WebView, our asset tracking and management system.

Blancco® is accredited to HMG IA Standard No. 5 - Secure Sanitisation of Protectively Marked or Sensitive Information, Issue 3.1, October 2009. Blancco® erases data on hard disk drives to the higher and lower available standard and specification globally. Blancco® also captures the specification of each CPU based asset (where possible) and writes this data directly to WebView over a secure XML transmission.

As part of the data wiping process, WebView captures, at the point of destruction, a profile of a laptop, PC or server, including a list of software applications installed. This means that we can also offer software asset management services to you so that you can ratify software destruction against your software license register. Non compliance with software licensing can be costly for businesses and organisations.
