We had previously donated about 60 systems without hard drives, and I hated that the non-profit had to source ebay for drives, while I was accumulating more and more old hard drives that I had to keep up with until they would be wiped/destroyed.

Here's why:Īs we were going into our Windows XP -> Windows 7 migration in Q3, 2013, we knew we were going to be retiring about 100 systems, and that we would be donating them to a non-profit that rebuilds systems and gives them to needy families in the community. OK, I'm extremely late on commenting on this question that's over a year old, but I see there was never a direct answer to the OP's question of Blannco vs WhiteCanyon, so I wanted to provide some input for others that may be looking at these products. 'There are alternative wiping solutions that ensure regulatory compliance in private and public sectors with extensive data destruction, reporting and auditing capabilities.' 'Regulatory Compliance: Data security mandates such as ISO 27001, ISO 15408, PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOX and European Union Directives require secure data removal.' 'We will not issue a statement of conformity for DBAN because it would be construed as a warranty or promise.' The client wants validation of work performed? You could request that for any IT service performed 'Is this power supply installed correctly and where is the certification to prove that?' You can issue a certification, Simply stating that 'We as company X have performed the following standard of data destruction which complies with security mandates ISO 27001 ect 'Īll the certification is a guarantee that the data cannot be recovered and covers the backside.
