Case Study: Globe Telecom strengthens data protection and compliance with Blancco data erasure solutions

Securely Erasing Employee & Customer Data to Strengthen Data Protection & Regulatory Compliance

Globe Telecom, a major telecommunications provider in the Philippines, faced significant challenges in securely and verifiably erasing the massive amounts of sensitive employee and customer data stored across its IT assets. Its previous manual processes and freeware solutions were ineffective, leaving data exposed to potential breaches and failing to meet stringent regulatory requirements like PCI DSS and the Data Privacy Act. To address this, the company sought a scalable, automated solution from vendor Blancco.

Blancco implemented its full Data Erasure Management package, including specialized erasers for drives, files, and mobile devices, along with vital consulting services. This solution provided Globe Telecom with automated, verified erasures and tamper-proof certificates for audit trails, ensuring regulatory compliance. The results included significantly increased data protection, strengthened regulatory compliance, and improved operational efficiencies across the organization.
