Certified data erasure in accordance with international standards
Before they are disposed of, resold or reused, data carriers must be securely deleted in accordance with the law, as required by various national and international regulations such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act, ISO 27001:2022, NIS-2 and BSI regulations. Failure to delete data leads to considerable legal, financial and reputational risks. Various standards such as DIN 66299, NIST SP 800-88 or DIN SPEC 66399-3 describe how to proceed when destroying data.
For this reason, the acmp Suite includes an automated, bootable data erasure solution. Secure WIPE with aagon's UEM platform means:
- High compliance through automatic compliance with legal deletion obligations
- No risk of costly fines and legal disputes
- Risk minimization: protection against data breaches
- Deletion of boot partitions using documented network boot
- Gaining trust: Proof of professional data protection practices towards customers and partners
Challenges with data erasure
Formatting the hard disk/SSD or simply deleting files is not enough
Deleting files, directories or entire hard disks in the conventional way is not enough. Data removed in this way can be easily restored using forensic means.
Hardware leasing makes data destruction a constant issue
Due to the increasing trend towards leasing PCs, notebooks and mobile devices, the device throughput in many companies today is very high. As a result, IT managers have to deal with secure data deletion on an almost permanent basis.
Fines and legal disputes loom
Recent developments regarding data sovereignty, data sovereignty and data protection are now codified in a series of international and national regulations.
Sources of error with manual data carrier destruction
Where IT personnel have to delete data and hard disks on a large scale, mistakes happen time and again, whether due to carelessness or ignorance. The way out of this is called "automated deletion".
Our solution for secure deletion of data carriers
aagon has integrated the leading solution for data erasure into its acmp suite as an integral part (not a separate module) of the OSD deployment. This provides all acmp customers with a highly efficient, automated and bootable data erasure solution.
Increase efficiency in all data erasure and data carrier destruction processes
All erasure processes are network-based, the devices are erased centrally, time-controlled and fully automated - without physical intervention, USB sticks or on-site intervention.
Fulfilling GDPR conformity and other compliance requirements
With Secure WIPE via the ACM Suite, companies ensure that they comply with all specific regulatory requirements. The automatic creation of audit-proof erasure reports demonstrably fulfills the "right to erasure".
Devices are not withdrawn from use for long
After deletion, the devices are immediately available for remarketing, relocalization or recycling. The downtime is minimized and maximum device availability is achieved.
Security and data protection
The solution is optimized for various storage media, data is verifiably destroyed, and there is no data leakage by third parties.
Avoid high costs of manual data deletion
By using the Secure WIPE function in the UEM, companies demonstrably reduce their costs. External data destruction fees, for example by employing an ITAD (IT Asset Disposition) partner or data destruction service provider, are eliminated. Working time is saved and devices can be put back into productive use more quickly.
