Case Study: Salvation Army Trading Company gives old computers new life with Blancco secure data erasure

Salvation Army Trading Company Gives Old Computers New Life for a Good Cause

The Salvation Army Trading Company Ltd (SATCoL), the trading arm of The Salvation Army in the UK, faced the challenge of securely repurposing donated data-bearing devices like laptops and phones to support its charitable reuse and recycling schemes. To inspire trust and assure corporate donors that all data would be irretrievably erased to meet stringent compliance standards, they turned to the secure data erasure solutions from Blancco.

By implementing Blancco Drive Eraser and Blancco Mobile Diagnostics & Erasure, SATCoL gained a credible, auditable method to sanitize devices. This solution from Blancco enabled SATCoL to successfully launch their IT resale initiative, giving old technology a second life in their retail shops and online. The partnership built vital trust with donors, diversified SATCoL's product mix, and positioned them to expand their donor reach across commercial and government sectors, all while raising more funds to support their community programs.
