About Blancco
At a glance
Blancco is a cybersecurity company specializing in Data Protection, founded in 1997 and headquartered in Bishop's Stortford, United Kingdom. It employs about 363 people and was acquired by Francisco Partners in 2023.
Blancco Technology Group develops data erasure and mobile lifecycle management software for enterprises, IT asset disposition (ITAD) providers, and organizations managing end-of-life devices. The company has operated for over 25 years and holds 40+ patented or patent-pending technologies. Their core product portfolio centers on certified data wiping software designed to permanently erase data from endpoints, servers, mobile devices, and storage media. The erasure process is designed to meet compliance requirements across various regulatory frameworks, and Blancco holds 13+ third-party certifications verifying the effectiveness and integrity of their erasure methods. Beyond data destruction, Blancco offers mobile lifecycle solutions that support device repurposing, resale, and donation workflows — enabling organizations to reintroduce devices into secondary markets with verified data sanitization. Their Blancco Autopilot Detection product, which received a 2025 Stevie Award for Technical Innovation, represents an automated capability within their platform. The company positions its solutions within the circular economy framework, emphasizing that secure data erasure enables devices to be safely reused rather than destroyed. This dual focus on data security and sustainability has earned Blancco multiple awards across both cybersecurity and environmental/sustainability categories. Target customers include large enterprises, IT asset managers, mobile device resellers, and channel partners such as MSPs. Blancco operates globally and distributes its solutions through both direct and channel partner models.
