Blancco Wins 2025 SEAL Sustainable Innovation Award Jan 29, 2025
A previous SEAL Awards winner for sustainable service, Blancco now receives recognition for its innovation in data erasure technology that reclaims enterprise IT for reuse.
AUSTIN and LONDON - January 29, 2025- Blancco Technology Group, the industry standard in data erasure and mobile lifecycle solutions, today announced that Blancco has won the prestigious 2025 SEAL Business Sustainability Awards. SEAL (Sustainability, Environmental Achievement, and Leadership) is an environmental advocacy organization that recognizes organizations for their leadership in sustainability and innovation. Spanning various categories, the honorees range from household brand names such as Salesforce, ASUS, and Hasbro, to high-growth start-ups and scale-ups.
Blancco received the Sustainable Innovation Award, which recognizes innovations that represent game-changing ideas that bring us to a more sustainable future. To earn a Sustainable Innovation Award, applicants were judged on the innovation's advantages over alternatives, sustainability benefits, disruption, and impact metrics, amongst other criteria. The winning nomination highlighted Blancco's unmatched ability to provide data erasure assurances, thereby enabling organizations to eliminate the need to physically destroy functional IT assets for data security purposes.
Increasing the reuse, resale, and recommissioning of enterprise IT assets is vital to a successful enterprise ESG strategy, said Matt Harney, Founder and Chairperson of SEAL Awards. Blancco's innovative technology stood out because, not only does it allow organizations to reuse and recycle IT assets without compromising data security, but it also enables them to increase participation in charitable donations of used yet functional devices to worthy causes due to providing the necessary data protection assurances.
With over 40 patented and patent-pending innovations fueling the company's proprietary technology, Blancco's solutions have been tested, certified, approved and recommended by 13+ governing bodies and leading organizations around the world, including NATO. No other data erasure software can attest to this level of compliance. Blancco also provides customers with a 100% tamper-proof audit trail validating compliance with global data protection and privacy regulations.
With nearly three decades of pioneering software-based data sanitization, Blancco continues to modernize how organizations can securely and sustainably eliminate data on functional enterprise storage devices, both for end users and in global data centers.
Lou DiFruscio, CEO of Blancco
We are thrilled the SEAL Awards judges have recognized our commitment to innovation as we bolster the circular economy with data protection at the forefront, said Lou DiFruscio, CEO of Blancco. With nearly three decades of pioneering software-based data sanitization, Blancco continues to modernize how organizations can securely and sustainably eliminate data on functional enterprise storage devices, both for end users and in global data centers. Thousands of IT leaders are confidently harnessing the reuse of computers, drives, smartphones, servers, and other data-bearing equipment as part of their ESG strategies. We're proud to be a part of those initiatives.
An example of Blancco's most recent innovation in supporting enterprise asset reuse is its new Autopilot Detection capability-the only enterprise-scale offering that identifies and flags the presence of Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) enrollments in used and end-of-life devices. The company released Blancco Autopilot Detection in response to changes in enterprise device management technologies: As soon as UEM-enrolled devices connect to a network, the system automatically synchronizes data between the device and the management server. For devices that have been wiped, this can mean data is restored to the erased device. Because of this chance of data restoration, enrolled IT assets may pose risks to business security and compliance, even if all previous decommissioning and disposition best practices have been followed. Blancco Autopilot Detection enables enterprises and their IT asset disposition service providers to identify and pull these risk-prone assets before they enter the secondary market.
This is Blancco's second consecutive SEAL Award win, the former being for Sustainable Service. To learn more about Blancco's sustainability mission and view resources on the issues associated with physical destruction of IT assets, please visit www.blancco.com/blank-is/.
