SafeGuard Encryption

We use imaging software, if we re-image it clears the BitLocker encryption, does this remove the encrypted data, if someone used data recovery would they be able to access the data?

  • You can never say NEVER in IT, but data should be safe. Without the recovery key (or access to it) the chances of data recovery are very slim - certainly by the "average" user.

    If you're concerned this might happen I would recommend disk wiping/cleaning software and do a sweep/wipe of +3 passes. We use Blancco here, but there are other solutions available.

     

    As I said - nothing it ever secure. It's like a car that can't be stolen...if someone wants it enough...they will find a way!
