Case Study: Samsung Japan improves SSD data erasure efficiency with Blancco

Securely Erasing Company-Owned SSDs Prevents Theft of Employee Data

Samsung Japan, the retailer for Samsung's semiconductor division, equipped its staff with devices containing internal SSDs that held confidential information. The company faced the challenge of securely wiping this data. Their previous erasure method was inefficient, requiring time-consuming disassembly to record serial numbers for audit purposes. To solve this, they turned to the data erasure solutions from Blancco.

Blancco implemented its Drive Eraser software and Management Console to provide a holistic data erasure management approach. This allowed Samsung Japan to perform multiple, automated SSD erasures quickly without damaging the operating system and to generate certified audit reports. The results were significant, making the new process 70% faster and reducing required working-hours by 84%, which gained each employee three additional working days per year.
