Business Need
- Reliable Data Erasure Solution: TechCharities needed a reliable data wiping solution to guarantee that sensitive data would be irreversibly erased, satisfying donor organization’s concerns and ensuring compliance with data privacy laws. They were previously using the Free tool DBAN & a hardware-based tool called EZ Dupe which had limitations.
- NAID Compliance: The organization wanted to achieve NAID Compliance for data wiping, a necessity to reassure stakeholders that data on all devices, including Dell machines and Mac devices, was thoroughly destroyed.
- Handling a Variety of Devices: The non-profit required a versatile data wiping solution that could manage the erasure of data across a diverse range of devices, from desktops to laptops, including different operating systems.
