Secure IT Engineered Solutions and Kroll Ontrack in Partnership

Secure IT Engineered Solutions (SITES), a division of Security Engineered Machinery (SEM), and Kroll Ontrack, LLC, a division of KLDiscovery, have announced a partnership to provide high security data decommissioning to the commercial marketplace.

The companies will collaborate to deliver solutions that provide regulatory compliance through on-site data destruction to security-focused organizations and data centers. The partnership will provide clients with an opportunity to retrieve data and destroy drives without the use of a third party mobile service.

“The SITES team is thrilled to be partnering with Ontrack,” said Andrew Kelleher, president, SITES. “This teaming between two strong global brands will enable Ontrack to deliver more efficient, cost-effective, and secure data end-of-life solutions to their impressive global client base.“

Recognized in secure data destruction for over 50 years, SITES is known for data end-of-life solutions that deliver quality while meeting required compliance regulations. Ontrack’s interest in a partnership came as a result of their search for an NSA Listed degausser with CE Marking for their US clients. Once Ontrack tested the degausser as well as other SITES devices including their SSD and HDD shredders and disintegrators, the companies made a mutual decision to make Ontrack a reseller of the entire SITES line.

“By partnering with ITES, Ontrack is helping our commercial clients to efficiently meet regulatory requirements,” said Shaun Stockman, tech support manager, Ontrack. “Because mobile decommissioning is inadvisable for many applications, Ontrack is now providing full service on-site data decommissioning to satisfy compliance measures, mitigate risk, and safeguard our clients’ privacy.“

Ontrack’s reputation in data recovery is earned from over 30 years in business. With clean-room facilities worldwide and engineering expertise in every major global region, consumers and businesses have trusted the company for their data recovery, restoration, and destruction needs.

The partnership is supported by dedicated sales, R&D, and engineering teams at both companies.
