Blancco: Tackling Global E-Waste
Tackling Global E-Waste in the Public Sector
In today’s data-driven world, government and public sector agencies are
responsible for managing, processing, and safeguarding some of the
most sensitive—and potentially exploitable—information within society. This leaves the public sector with an enormous responsibility to its citizens, especially as the importance of privacy and data protection is growing among both citizens and lawmakers.

The Risk of Inappropriate SSD Data Desctruction
For all methods, data destruction verification and certification is a “must-have” for compliance and security.
Cryptographic Erasure
91% of UK organisations use this. It relies heavily on the manufacturer and manual implementation. If error occurs, this means some erasures are not verified or auditable.
Reformatting
83% of public sector organisations use this method, but it often leaves data behind in whole or in part. This creates a risk during transportation and storage.
Off-Site Erasure
47% of organisations erase offsite and reuse the device, and 31% erase offsite before physical destruction. All data must be certifiably removed otherwise it remains vulnerable.
Physical Destruction
57% of organisations destroy the SSD only, whilst 46% destroy the entire IT asset. SSD-appropriate methods must be used to overcome chip density.

Data Breaches within the public sector
From 2020-2021, remote work fueled a rise in data breaches, along with related costs. Healthcare had the highest average breach cost for its 11th year in a row.
Public Sector
Breach costs surged by nearly 80% globally, from £.81M to £1.45M
Healthcare
Average total costs rose nearly 30%, from £5.35M to £6.92M
All Industries
Average cost of an incident in the UK rose to £3.5M

How can Blancco help your public sector customers?
Professional tools at your fingertips to increase policy compliance. When data is no longer needed, professional sanitisation can occur immediately and in accordance with industry best practices, regulatory, and certification requirement
100% guaranteed device sanitisation enables hardware cost recovery through secure redeployment, resale, and lease return. Erasure in active environments reduces data storage needs, lowering costs and energy use.
Data erasure solutions reinforce data protection at device retirement, allowing safe reuse and reducing e-waste. For devices that must be destroyed, onsite erasure eliminates data access throughout storage, transport, recycling, and disposal.
Designed specifically to address SSD make and model differences, Blancco’s patented SSD erasure method provides verified firmware-level erasure and ensures data is written across the full logical capacity of the drive.
Their data erasure solutions integrate with a wide variety of ITAM applications, including asset management system (AMS) or enterprise resource planning (ERP) software such as ServiceNow—simplifying your IT asset management processes.
The ability to remotely sanitise LUNS, servers, drives, and VMs saves travel time and related costs. Automation reduces human touch time. Decommissioning assets simultaneously can turn a weeks’- long job into an overnight one.
Role-based user rights, mandatory fields, automated processes, customisability, and centrally stored reports virtually eliminate the risk of inaccurately recording information through manual means.
A centralised dashboard provides clear views of erasure activity. Automated delivery and storage of digitally signed erasure reports ensures a transparent, easy, and consistent process for staff and auditors.
