Jetico, developer of long-trusted data wiping software, announced today the launch of Search, a personally identifiable information (PII) and sensitive data discovery tool. Addressing the growing demand for effective solutions in data protection, Search integrates powerful discovery capabilities with Jetico’s renowned BCWipe software, delivering the first-ever unified platform to locate and securely erase files beyond forensic recovery.
Search empowers administrators to identify sensitive information across their entire network and safely manage it, simplifying data spill response and ensuring compliance with regulations like PCI, GDPR and NIS2.
“Search is more than a tool, it’s a solution to one of the most pressing data security challenges organizations face today,” explains Hannaleena Pojanluoma, Jetico CEO. “As storage media grows larger and data copies expand – whether as backup files, temporary folders or recovery points – identifying all instances of sensitive information has become increasingly complex. With BCWipe’s new Search feature, we are addressing this difficult challenge. In just a few clicks, administrators can set advanced search parameters to locate and manage files containing specific data, no matter where they reside. This ensures organizations can find, protect and securely erase sensitive information with confidence.”
BCWipe Search, available in the enterprise edition of BCWipe that includes central management, scans all computers connected to a network using customizable filters, pre-set templates and advanced methods like file hashes to efficiently locate and manage sensitive data. Key features include:
-

Go beyond individual devices to locate PII and sensitive data stored across your organization’s endpoints, including files in temporary or backup locations. -
