Committed to Securing Your MFP Data
Powerful protection for your most important information – Right out of the Box!

Since Docutrend's inception, we have educated our clients on securing their confidential document data. The evolution from Analog to Digital Copiers created a need for this type of security since an overwhelming majority of devices have Hard Drives, Operating Systems and other types of memory that may retain sensitive document data. The expose done by CBS on April 18, 2010 brought to the mainstream what our industry has known to be a potential threat to corporate data security policies. For all intents and purposes, copiers today need to be treated the same way that PCs and Servers have been treated since their introduction into corporate America. With Docutrend and Canon, you can rely on the fact that when you upgrade your technology, not only will it comply with your corporate standards for security but exceed it.

Ever since hard disk drives became the norm on multifunction peripherals, Canon has been committed to protecting your data against compromise. To facilitate the security of information on the hard disk drives of imageRUNNER, imageRUNNER ADVANCE, and imagePRESS systems, Canon offers the standard hard disk drive format feature. Best practices, and often company policies, usually recommend that systems be completely wiped prior to being redeployed or at the end of their usable lives. The Hard Disk Drive Format feature allows an end-user to completely overwrite all data stored on the hard disk. This feature comes standard on Canon MFPs, at no additional charge to the customer!

Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Security Kits

For organizations that require a higher level of protection, Canon offers additional Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Security options for imageRUNNER, imageRUNNER ADVANCE, and imagePRESS systems. Whether you need to meet the strict security demands of the private sector or comply withthe stringent privacy and auditing regulations of the public sector, Canon provides two optional features that deliver higher levels of protection—HDD Data Encryption and HDD Data Erase. Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Encryption Kit.

Canon’s Data Encryption Kit option has been designed to protect all temporary data and stored documents on the internal disk drive through proven industry-standard encryption algorithms. Recognized for its strong level of security by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Security Agency (NSA), the HDD Data Encryption Kit is a dedicated plug-in board that encrypts every byte of data before it’s committed to the disk using 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) or 168-bit TDEA (Triple Data Encryption Algorithm) algorithms (depending on model). The HDD Data Encryption Kit utilizes an inaccessible secret key that’s stored on the plug-in board to encrypt and decrypt all data that’s stored in random, non-continuous portions of the disk drive. Once written, the data is virtually irretrievable by anyone seeking to recover it from within the device or through external file recovery utilities.

HDD Erase

Even after deletion, data can be potentially retrieved. Once data has been committed to any disk drive, the potential exists for it to be retrieved even after deletion unless it’s been effectively overwritten. To counteract this reality, Canon offers the optional HDD Data Erase function within imageRUNNER, imageRUNNER ADVANCE, and imagePRESS systems. Once activated, the HDD Data Erase function overwrites traces of data on the disk drive.
