Secure wipe software

Every day in the professional and private environment, large volumes of data of all kinds are generated: customer lists, billing statements, expansion plans, etc. which they are stored in the companies computers. In most cases, this information is of a sensitive nature, so that improper processing of such data may:

• violate the most basic companies security protocols,
• violating the Law on Data Protection (LOPD),
• Infringing multiple items from the Public Administrations safety regulations
• and, also,jeopardize the users privacy.

Given this situation, some companies try to delete information sending files to recycle bin or formatting the hard disk, but is not enough. This suppose a serious risk for companies, because none of these two solutions guarantee the irreversible removal of information, so your data could be easily retrievable by third parties. These circumstances are aggravated when computers reach the end of their cycle life. Some practices put in the hands of third parties all the information stored in them, such as:

•  the sale of second-hand equipment
• leasing
• renting
• relocation
• donation or
• recycling equipment
