Do your customers request proof of where their devices have been erased? Do they want confirmation that their devices and confidential data have not left the country or ended up in the wrong hands? Are they looking for proof that all aspects of your contract have been fulfilled?

Securaze has the perfect solution for all your concerns – the Securaze Geo-Location Solution!

The Securaze Geo-Location Solution

First, let's understand why it's essential for your customers to know where their devices are being erased. 

As a customer, when handing over devices containing confidential information to a contractor, it's crucial to know where these devices are actually being erased. It matters whether the devices are securely erased remotely in your office, or if they leave the country, traveling long distances and passing through various hands. If customers have proof of where their devices and data will be erased and that all contractual points are strictly adhered to, it establishes trust and a solid contractual foundation, paving the way for future business opportunities.

So, what is our solution? 

We have developed a way to identify not only the geographic location of the base station but also all the devices that have been erased by you. Our geo-location solution implements multiple independent methods to accurately determine the device's location and minimize the risk of spoofing. We use a combination of IP tracking and other sources to verify their location. Rest assured, none of this contains any personal data and does not violate the General Data Protection Regulation in any way.

Understanding the Legal Implications of Cross-Border Data Breaches

In today's globalized world, data protection is more important than ever, and cross-border data breaches can lead to severe legal consequences and fines. Organizations must remain vigilant in adhering to data protection regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) for healthcare organizations.

When sensitive data leaves a country, it may be subjected to different data protection laws and regulations, and it becomes more challenging to ensure compliance. In the case of a data breach, organizations may face hefty fines, damaged reputations, and even potential lawsuits. For instance, under GDPR, organizations can be fined up to €20 million or 4% of their annual global turnover, whichever is higher, for non-compliance or serious data breaches.

This is where the Securaze Geo-Location Solution comes in. By accurately tracking the location of devices during the data erasure process, organizations can provide proof that their devices and sensitive data have not left the country or ended up in the wrong hands. This added layer of transparency helps ensure compliance with data protection regulations and reduces the risk of legal repercussions associated with cross-border data breaches.

As organizations continue to navigate the complexities of data protection in an increasingly interconnected world, solutions like Securaze's Geo-Location Solution provide an essential tool in maintaining data security, compliance, and trust with customers and partners.
