Today we're launching the 2026 Blancco State of Data Sanitization Report!

This global study of 1,400+ IT, compliance, and sustainability leaders gives you the inside track on how other organizations are managing data at end of life.

This year, the findings reveal a major contradiction...

94% are confident in their data sanitization practices.

Yet:

• 38% experienced a data leak in the past year
• 32% of these businesses linked leaks to redeployed devices retaining sensitive data

The report explores how AI, rising regulatory pressure, sustainability goals, and growing hardware costs are reshaping enterprise data sanitization strategies.

If you work in cybersecurity, ITAD, compliance, sustainability, or enterprise IT, this is benchmark data you won’t find anywhere else.
