Advanced Technology Partner Status in AWS Partner network

Development efforts bring Blancco's industry-leading data erasure technology to AWS customers and network partners worldwide

Blancco Technology Group (AIM: BLTG), the industry standard in data erasure and mobile device diagnostics, today announced it has achieved Advanced Technology Partner status with Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner Network (APN). As an AWS Advanced Technology Partner, Blancco will offer its data sanitization technologies to AWS enterprise customers worldwide and the AWS channel supporting cloud migrations.

Blancco helps customers migrate their data to the cloud in a responsible way, providing auditable and tamper-proof certification reports for every IT asset that is decommissioned during the datacenter migration journey. Failure to erase data on out-of-use hardware at the point of migration could incur regulatory penalties if that data is breached. The achievement of this new status demonstrates Blancco's continued dedication to helping enterprises adhere to best-in-class IT operations in meeting with data privacy standards, compliance and regulations.

The APN Advanced Technology Partner certification was awarded to Blancco following stringent technical validation and verification checks, specific training and examinations for key personnel, and evidence of a high standard of customer satisfaction and efficacy with accounts. Blancco's data sanitization technology is trusted by thousands of enterprises globally that value cybersecurity, data privacy and IT efficiency.

Blancco's Enterprise Drive Erasure solution enables organizations and the network of partners that serve them (Systems Integrators, MSPs, MSSPs, VARs, Consultants, etc.) to add secure, auditable data erasure to their migration playbook. With Blancco's secure data erasure suite, AWS customers can incorporate a value-add solution to their security portfolios that enhances end-of-life data management and provides a verifiable audit trail to comply with the growing number of data protection regulations and standards, including PCI-DSS, HIPAA, GBLA, EU GDPR, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, and NIST 800-88.

"Blancco is ramping up our investment in enterprise and datacenter customers," said Anders Klemmer, Vice President of Business Development at Blancco. "We are delighted to achieve the Advanced Technology Partner status, which demonstrates our commitment to continue innovating on AWS for the benefit of our growing customer base. We strive to deliver efficiency, cost reduction and data privacy compliance to customers adopting cloud-first infrastructure."
