Proton ™ Data Security USA and Prologic Data Management of Co. Tyrone Announce Distributor Partnership in Europe, 1 May 2008
Proton ™ Data Security USA MIAMI, FL USA and Prologic Data Management, located in Co. Tyrone, N.Ireland have reached an agreement whereby Prologic Data Management will be the exclusive distributor in Europe for Proton’s suite of Electronic data destruction products.
“The intention is then to set up a joint venture with Prologic Data Management in N. Ireland later on in 2008 to look at various innovative projects, shuch as RFID and R&D.” John Lobo CEO Proton Data Security
“Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) regulations came into force last July in Europe, yet flawed data destruction processes exist in the majority of companies. This has been highlighted by the high profile loss of information on computer discs and other forms of media, creating a problem under the Data Protection Act.
“The Proton 8000™ Degausser and Proton 1250™ CD/DVD Declassifier meet or exceed the requirements of the Data Protection Act for the proper disposal of data”, said Dermot Coyle Managing Director, Prologic Data Management. Prologic have been successful in placing two Proton™ 1250 machines with HM Revenue & Customs. The Proton 1250™ CD & DVD Declassifier provides the ultimate remedy for data control for CD and DVD destruction. This patented device, employing “micro indentation”, reliably penetrates the data surface of target media, destroys the focal plane of any readable data and allows standard disposal of the media. This product is certified by the National Security Administration (NSA) and the Department of Defence (DOD) in the US.
Proton’s mission is to help companies and Government agencies around the world secure data and ensure its proper disposal at the end of the life cycle by providing the same quality products used at the highest levels of US government and military. The UK is mandating compliance under WEEE and the Data Protection Act (DPA) and through our partnership with Prologic Data Management we look forward to brining secure data destruction products to Companies and Governments across Europe, said John Lobo, CEO of Proton.
Prologic Data Management has been successfully competing in the IT security market for 10 years, and is “delighted to expand into supplying products that allow customers to manage the risk of redundant data storage media” added Coyle. Prologic have provided solutions to many leading UK and Irish companies across a range of industry sectors and currently hold major contracts with a number of central and local Government Departments.
