Computrace Data Protection allows customers to track fixed, remote and mobile computer assets and remotely wipe sensitive data if the computer is lost, stolen or nearing the end of its lifecycle. The product is centrally managed by the IT department and gives staff the visibility to see up to 100% of their connected computer assets including the 40% of hard to locate assets that Gartner Group says are missed by conventional IT asset management tools.

Your Data Is Your Responsibility – Protect It!

Protecting your data is no longer an option, it is a requirement. Government legislation and privacy laws have made you responsible for knowing where your computer assets are, what is installed on them and who is using them. If you cannot locate all of your machines – you cannot be sure your data is protected. Leaving your data vulnerable exposes your company to risks in terms of data privacy and regulatory compliance standards. Protect your assets with Computrace Data Protection.

Minimize Corporate Liability

It may surprise you to know that most corporate IT departments can only account for 60% of their computing assets1 and even more alarming is the fact that 73% of companies don’t have specific security policies for their laptop computers.2 Can you account for all of your remote and mobile devices? If not, would you even know if one of your devices was stolen, exposing your company to costly damages?

Securing Against PC Drift and Loss

Not only are you responsible for your organization’s computer assets, but more importantly you are responsible for the data they contain. What would you do if devices went missing that contained sensitive files such as personal records, customer data or trade secrets? Government legislation mandates that organizations must publicly report any security breach that is reasonably believed to have compromised personal information. Avoid potentially damaging publicity or litigation by remotely deleting files with Computrace Data Protection.

Remotely Delete Sensitive Data and Properly Prepare Units for Disposal

Computrace Data Protection works by remotely deleting sensitive data on target computers that have fallen outside your jurisdiction. Computrace Data Protection can also be used for lifecycle management to ensure that computers are left clean and free of sensitive data at the end of life or lease.

Data is Permanently Removed

Computrace Data Protection uses an algorithm that meets the United States Department of Defense standard for data removal. Once removed, data cannot be recovered. When Data Delete completes, a log file can be viewed in the Customer Center website. This log file confirms that all sensitive data has been deleted and helps companies comply with data protection regulations.

Computrace Data Protection Also Includes Secure Asset Tracking™

Computrace Data Protection not only allows for the removal of data but it also comes with Asset Tracking reports to help control drift and comply with government regulations. At a minimum most government regulations require reporting computer assets and maintaining records of those assets. Computrace Data Protection allows you to locate and report on the activities of computers that have drifted within an organization, are missing or have been used for unauthorized activities. With Computrace Data Protection centrally manage your entire computer population, including remote and mobile assets. Knowing who has each asset, the software and hardware installed on it, and where they are helps companies comply with the various government regulations facing organizations today.
