As new data recovery technologies become more sophisticated, confidential information stored on mal-functioning hard drives has never been more vulnerable to third-party exploitation. Typical warranties request failed hard drives be returned to the manufacturer, during replacement.

This leaves customers with a difficult choice to make: risk sensitive data falling into the wrong hands or keep the hard drive – a practice that may violate many existing standard warranty agreements.

BCDVideo offers ‘Keep Your Hard Drive’ warranty

The ‘Keep Your Hard Drive’ warranty waives the requirement to return failed drive

BCDVideo is now offering a ‘Keep Your Hard Drive’ warranty, in order to give customers from small businesses to large agencies, complete control over their data and hard drive disposal, while preserving all the benefits of the BCDVideo standard hardware warranty on failed hard drives.

While still possible to return the drive, the ‘Keep Your Hard Drive’ warranty waives the requirement to return failed drives.

Key benefits of BCDVideo’s ‘Keep Your Hard Drive’ warranty include:

  • Greater Security – The sensitive data and hard drive never have to leave control. Retaining physical possession of a failed hard drive is an effective way to help ensure the security of classified, proprietary, or sensitive data. Tracking failed hard drives in-transit becomes a non-issue. Covers multiple drives in a system and multiple failures.
  • Compliance Enablement – Help comply with current data privacy regulations and internal company policies, by ensuring sensitive information on the hard drives is not compromised.
  • Risk Mitigation – Proper control of sensitive data can mitigate the risk of expensive civil liability, by helping to prevent potential exposure of confidential customer data or intellectual property.
