REDEMTECH, BRINKS LAUNCH SECURE TRANSPORT
SERVICE

Columbus, Ohio-based Redemtech, a provider of IT asset management services, and Dallas-based Brink’s Inc., through its Secure Data Solutions transportation service, have announced a new secure transport option that is designed to protect highly sensitive data on in-transit computers that have been taken off network to be reused, resold or recycled.

A press release from Redemtech states, "The service, the first of its kind to be offered through an IT asset management company, provides secure transportation of IT assets to ensure the integrity and control of chain-of-custody, reducing the potential for loss or theft of data-bearing assets."

Robert Houghton, president of Redemtech, says, "Data security has become the number one priority for many CEOs and CIOs due to the rising frequency and costs of privacy breaches. Our clients are continuously looking for new and better ways to safeguard sensitive data and eliminate the risk of loss or theft." He continues, "Brink’s Secure Data Solutions transportation services, in conjunction with Redemtech’s full complement of secure recovery solutions, provide the ultimate protection for data-bearing assets during transit."

Brink’s Secure Data transportation service is offered by Brink’s Global Services U.S.A. Inc., a subsidiary of Brink’s Inc. It offers person-to-person armed transport from the point of consignment to delivery. Company personnel inventory all assets at the point of recovery and seal the shipments with tamper-resistant packaging before signing them over to Brink’s for transport, according to the firm.

The Brink’s service primarily uses ground transportation, and armed guards escort the shipments.
