DATA SECURITY KIT

THE COMMON CRITERIA ACCREDITED SHARP DATA SECURITY KIT ENABLES SECURE COPYING, PRINTING AND SCANNING.

Digital copier/printers typically use computer style hard disks to capture the documents to be printed, scanned or reproduced. The disks can retain hundreds of pages of confidential information from previous copy, print and scan jobs. The Sharp Data Security Kit overwrites the document with random data rendering it unrecoverable by commercial means. This essential utility, recommended for all who handle sensitive information, is the World's first Common Criteria validated copier/printer solution. Highly sensitive information can now be securely printed, scanned or copied without the worry of residual data being left on the multifunctional device. The Common Criteria accredited Sharp Data Security Kit, will insure that no information remains on the destination device after use. Further security can be obtained by using the secure document release solution available from Sharp, which will only allow the print to be recovered when the user is present. Data protection is always important when dealing with customer or sensitive records. The Sharp Data Security Kit gives this protection by removing any data that may remain on the multifunctional device ensuring data security.
