Facing a GDPR Erasure Request? You’re Not Alone.
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), organizations must respond to right-to-erasure (or “right to be forgotten”) requests by permanently deleting personal data—not just from files, but from backups, temp folders, and hidden logs.
Jetico’s BCWipe makes it simple to erase with confidence – and prove it.
This webinar and demo video guides you through:

- Q&A
What Is the GDPR Right to Erasure?
Under Article 17 of the GDPR, individuals have the legal right to request the erasure of their personal data without delay. Organizations are responsible for:
- Ensuring complete and unrecoverable erasure
- Locating all instances of the data across systems
- Proving compliance with detailed records and reporting
Common Challenges of GDPR Compliance
- Locating All Personal Data
Data spreads easily – from shared files to cached copies, email attachments, and archives. - Secure and Irreversible Deletion
Standard deletion only removes file references, leaving data recoverable by forensic tools. - Providing Proof of Erasure
Organizations must demonstrate proper handling of requests, often by providing logs or certificates.
The 3-Step GDPR Compliance Process
Jetico recommends this practical response, demonstrated in the video:
- Search and Discover
Use the data discovery tool to scan your entire network for personally identifiable information – including PDFs, scanned images, and metadata. - Wipe Securely
Apply industry-standard wiping methods to erase files, logs, and hidden traces permanently and irreversibly. - Verify and Report
Generate a data erasure report with full details and timestamps to share with data subjects or compliance auditors.
