GMO Hosting & Security Launches HDD Wipe Certification Service for iSLE Dedicated Hosting Service
Tokyo – October 29, 2008 – GMO Hosting & Security hosting brand iSLE, today launches HDD Wipe Certification Service. The new service certifies that customer data has been completely wiped from hard disk drives (HDDs) after use in iSLE dedicated hosting services.
GMO Hosting & Security is a GMO Internet Group company.
In recent years interest in business security has grown and many companies have implemented ISMS (Information Security Management System) concepts. Companies are carefully managing information assets in line with information security standards proscribed by independent organizations or internally developed security policies. Many companies outsource functions to hosting providers and these data management trends are also evident in their use of dedicated servers. We are seeing more and more instances of customers being required by company security policy to obtain a certificate stating that data has been erased from an HDD at the end of its period of use.
GMO Hosting & Security receives many requests from customers for certification of data removal. The new HDD Wipe Certification Service enables us to respond to our customers’ data security needs.
HDD Wipe Certification Service
When a customer finishes with a hosting service server at iSLE we completely erase all data from the hard drive. Our new HDD Wipe Certification Service provides iSLE dedicated hosting service users with written certification that this process was carried out. Many corporate security policies now require this certification. HDD Wipe Certification Service fulfills that requirement as well as giving our customers peace of mind.
* Service Fee (inc. tax): 31,500 yen / 2 HDD
