Case Study: Ayala Corporation Achieves Secure Data Erasure and Privacy Compliance with Blancco

Large Philippine Conglomerate Donates Servers and PCs Confidently While Ensuring Privacy Compliance

Ayala Corporation, a major Philippine conglomerate, needed a secure and proven method to permanently erase sensitive financial data from its IT assets before donating, reassigning, or disposing of them. The challenge was to ensure absolute data sanitization to protect corporate information and achieve compliance with stringent privacy regulations, moving beyond old methods that were no longer foolproof. To meet this need, they turned to data erasure solutions from vendor Blancco.

Implementing Blancco Drive Eraser allowed Ayala to securely and cost-effectively erase all data from servers, laptops, and desktops, providing verified, tamper-proof certificates of erasure for compliance. The solution from Blancco gave the company peace of mind that no residual data remained on donated devices and positioned them in good standing for when the Philippines' Data Privacy Act was finalized. The Blancco software was easy for staff to use, and the company plans to expand its use to cloud servers with Blancco LUN Eraser.
