The software division of Regenersis, a London-based provider of device diagnostics, repair and data erasure services, has announced that it has been renamed as Blancco Technology Group. According to the company, this rebranding signals a deliberate move to recast it into a new role as a guardian of electronic assets and mobile functionality for enterprise businesses.
Through its expanded data erasure and mobile diagnostics service offering, Blancco Technology Group maximizes the functionality and resale value of mobile devices while preventing leaks of sensitive personal and corporate information before devices are traded in, sold, recycled, destroyed or reused.
Pat Clawson has been named CEO of Blancco Technology Group. Most recently, he served as chairman and CEO of Lumension Inc., where he successfully grew the business’ revenue and profitability. He has more than 20 years of software industry experience.
“While our business has traditionally been rooted in Europe – both from a customer base and sales perspective—we’re now ready to address the needs of organizations globally,” says Clawson. “When you look at the types of international regulations and the soon-to-be-launched EU General Data Protection Regulation, it’s quite clear that the U.S. trails far behind its European counterparts in data privacy protection and regulatory compliance.”
Unlike any other security organization, Blancco Technology Group holds certifications, approvals and recommendations from 19 national and international governing bodies, including the United States Department of Defense, NATO, Common Criteria and U.K. Ministry of Defense.
“Rather than expound on best practices from afar, we plan to actively assist government officials in drafting, enacting and monitoring security legislation while improving the lines of communication and collaboration between the private and public sectors,” Clawson says. More specifically, Blancco Technology Group says Clawson is resolved to change the security landscape, both in the U.S. and across the globe, by empowering businesses and consumers alike to protect their data with absolute certainty and a 100-percent-tamper-proof audit trail.
