Case Study: SIMS Recycling Solutions achieves secure, certified data erasure with Blancco

Simplifying Management & Recycling of Electronic Assets Safeguards Against Data Breaches

SIMS Recycling Solutions, a global provider of IT and electronics recovery and recycling services, faced a significant challenge in ensuring 100% reliable and verifiable data erasure across its operations. Their manual process was only 98% reliable, a dangerous margin of error that risked data breaches for their clients. They needed a solution from a vendor like Blancco that could provide guaranteed erasure and a certified, tamper-proof audit trail for compliance and transparency.

To meet this need, SIMS implemented a holistic data erasure management solution from Blancco, utilizing the Blancco Toolkit. This allowed them to perform secure erasures on a wide array of IT assets both locally and remotely across all their client locations, with oversight provided by the Blancco Management Console and Blancco Cloud. The results were substantial; the company was able to securely process 735,000 tons of hazardous waste annually and saved an estimated $3.8 million in potential data breach costs.
