Business Need
Gavi Alliance approached BitRaser with the following needs:
- Wipe ePHI & Other Confidential Data: Gavi Alliance required a professional data wiping solution to wipe numerous drives and devices that contained confidential information about vaccination records, partner details, employee details, and investor information.
- Unified Customizable Solution: Gavi needed data erasure to be unified across locations to ensure consistency in erasure operations. They wanted the erasure details and method of erasure to be pre-configured in the ISO file.
- Meet Compliance With ISO 27001 Standard: As a sizeable organization handling sensitive information related to vaccine distribution, Gavi required that its information security management systems remain compliant with the ISO 27001 standard. They needed a data-wiping solution that was compliant with this standard.
Solution: Gavi chose BitRaser's Drive Erasure solution to achieve ISO 27001 compliance and streamline their data wiping process across locations. BitRaser's ability to pre-set ‘Erasure Details’ and ‘Erasure Standard’, alongside ‘Verification Method’, helped eliminate human errors and ensure standardization. Further, repetitive manual data entry was avoided, saving time and effort during the erasure process. Gavi benefitted from both online and offline variants of BitRaser Drive Eraser software that supported their fleet of drives and devices.
