Blancco Launches Canadian Partner Program for IT Asset Disposal Vendors - Nov 26 2014 Erasure solutions from Blancco Partners help ensure compliance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and other regulations

Abbotsford, B.C., November 26, 2014 - Blancco, the global leader in data erasure and computer reuse solutions, has launched a Partner Program to support Canadian providers of professional IT asset disposal (ITAD) services. Joining as the first member of the ITAD Partner Program is GEEP, a global provider of safe, secure reuse and recycling of waste electric and electronic equipment (WEEE) services.

Blancco's ITAD Partner Program was created for ITAD, electronics recycling and leasing organizations that are industry leaders, such as GEEP. The program is designed to streamline erasure processes required for safe reuse, disposal and destruction of IT equipment. It also addresses increasingly complex regulations for ITAD specialists and their enterprise customers with solutions that provide auditable erasure reports.

Our partners and their customers recognise the growing compliance and legislative requirements around data protection, both globally and in Canada, said Christopher Eeg, Managing Director, Blancco Canada. The Partner Program supports the commitment our partners have to professionally protect customer data with world-class solutions that ensure legislative compliance.

The Privacy Commissioner of Canada has called for increased corporate responsibility around IT security and data loss prevention. Working with Blancco Partners, enterprises can feel confident of addressing these calls, as well as amendments to PIPEDA and the forthcoming European Union General Data Protection Regulation.

Providing customers with the best security solution available is essential to our business, said Wallace MacKay, Vice President of Corporate Development, GEEP. Partnering with Blancco, we can verify complete data erasure of all IT assets we manage and provide erasure reports necessary for regulatory compliance. The Blancco standard is a brand trusted by us and our clients.
