Whether for data spill response or routine data security, BCWipe - Enterprise EditionTM data wiping software enables you to permanently delete files selectively so that they can never be recovered or undeleted – even wipe free space to clear previously deleted data. This Enterprise Edition empowers IT Admins to wipe data (files, folders, data remanence like free space or temporary Internet files) on any drive in their network. Jetico Central Manager, distributed as part of BCWipe - Enterprise Edition, is used to deploy BCWipe clients across all workstations and remotely manage data wiping policies in real time.
BCWipe - Enterprise Edition complies with U.S. Department of Defense (DoD 5220.22-M) standard, U.S. Department of Energy (DoE M 205.1-2) standard and a set of other standard wiping schemes. You can also create and use your own customized wiping scheme to securely erase sensitive information from storage devices.
If your department has a data spill, are you ready to take action?
BCWipe lets you respond quickly to any type of data spill and stop accidental release of information. With BCWipe, you won't be caught off guard when a data spill occurs.
BCWipe enables you to resolve a classified data spill in response to accidental email distribution, classification changes and other related incidents.
This powerful wiping utility also lets you completely and permanently remove all traces of previously deleted files using the wipe free space command.
Want to do more than delete selected files or wipe free space? Looking to erase entire hard drives?

"BCWipe works very well in our lab and does exactly what it's supposed to do. Beyond using it myself, I have recommended BCWipe to our customers for clearing a disk of contaminated files or responding to a data spillage event."

BCWipe - Enterprise Edition Features
Click on the following commands and tools for more information:
-
Delete with wiping
Using this command, which is available in the context menus of the 'My computer' window, you can delete and wipe a file, a folder, or a group of files and folders.
- Wipe free space
Using this command, available in the context menus of the 'My computer' window, you can completely and permanently remove all traces of previously deleted files and wipe free space on your hard drive.
- Clean data spills
In the event of a data spill, BCWipe can effectively and permanently stop the spill and prevent any further damage from occuring.
- Wipe Internet History*
BCWipe can completely wipe all traces of your Internet history: cache, cookies, browsing history, search history, saved passwords, last active tabs, etc. Supported web browsers include the latest versions of Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera.
- Wipe Local History*
(Wipe names of recently used files) BCWipe can wipe names of files opened with Windows components and other popular applications. Names stored on a subfolder or in Windows Registry can be wiped. View detailed information about every entry, such as in the Find History list. Individual entries can be wiped without deleting the whole list.
- Wipe Swap File
The swap file is a Windows system file that is used for virtual memory support. If you are working on a file or document (even one that has been encrypted), Windows will copy all or part of it in an open unencrypted form to the swap file on your hard disk. Encryption keys, passwords, and other sensitive information can also be 'swapped' to your hard drive. Even if you use all the security features in the latest versions of Windows, simply investigating the swap file in DOS mode with readily available tools may allow for significant data retrieval. BCWipe offers the option to wipe unused portions of the swap file to ensure your total security.
- Swap File Encryption*
The BCWipe CyrptoSwap utility allows you to encrypt the Swap File, which provides you with additional security. Supported symmetric algorithms and key lengths: Rijndael 256-bit key (Cipher Block Chaining Mode), Blowfish 448-bit key (Cipher Block Chaining Mode), GOST 28147-89 256-bit key (Cipher Feedback Mode), Twofish 256-bit key (Cipher Block Chaining Mode).
- Wipe File Slacks
A file slack is the disk space from the end of a file up to end of the last cluster used by that file. You can turn file slacks wiping on or off before running BCWipe commands. (Read more explanations on file slacks in the
Tips & Tricks section.)
- Wipe MFT Records and Directory Entries*
The file system records the names and attributes of files to a special area of your disk drive (so called 'directory entries' for FAT and MFT for NTFS). When a file is deleted, the corresponding directory entry is modified by the file system which makes it invisible to Windows and to you. However, most of the information still exists and the name and attributes can be restored using any recovery utility. BCWipe shreds directory entries and MFT so that the information can never be recovered.
- Wipe Compressed Files*
Compressed files cannot be wiped by conventional methods. BCWipe contains an advanced module that can read disk sectors at a low level, enabling BCWipe to effectively wipe compressed files and perform an advanced low-level verification of the wiping process.
- BCWipe Task Manager*
Administrators now have complete flexibility for choosing what to wipe, when to wipe it, and how to wipe it. Lists of recently used files are removed from the File Menus of specific programs. Wipe your Internet Cache, Cookies, History, etc. Wipe the entire swap file. Wipe selected Registry Keys and user activity history stored by Windows.
- Log File Viewer*
Log Viewer is a convenient tool to survey the log file generated by the wiping process. With Log Viewer users can monitor the wiping process while it is running.
View is customizable by hiding/showing columns.
Log Viewer can filter the file by selected text string or highlight all the strings containing the selected text.
For Transparent Wiping the Log Viewer reports the process that initiated the deletion.
- Hexadecimal File Viewer*
Using the Hexadecimal File Viewer, you can examine contents of files after wiping. This utility is useful for investigating the quality of the wiping process, for example when you use a custom wiping scheme.
- Automatic Update Utility*
BCWipe includes an Automatic Update utility which actively monitors Jetico's latest software updates and enables users to receive them automatically.
- Transparent Wiping*
Jetico uses a higher level of protecting deleted information from unauthorized recovery - BCWipe's Transparent Wiping. After Transparent Wiping is easily activated on your computer, BCWipe will automatically wipe files and folders and all their contents when deleted. You no longer need to worry about securely erasing all traces of every single sensitive file you've been working on. Once you delete files or folders, BCWipe's Transparent Wiping wipes files and takes care of the rest.
The primary advantage for users running Transparent Wiping is that it eliminates time-consuming processes to wipe free space, wipe temporary files or wipe old file versions. These tasks are typically necessary because while running an application - such as editing an Office document or browsing the Internet - it creates temporary files, cache objects or other special system files that may contain confidential information, so even after you delete files, traces remain.
Transparent Wiping intercepts all 'delete' commands sent by the user or by the system and securely wipes the data files. You can delete files and be confident that data is wiped, and you can rest assured that all temporary files created by Windows or by any application will be wiped when they are no longer needed.
Transparent Wiping securely erases the following sensitive data on the fly:
- All files and folders deleted using normal commands
- Temporary files created by Windows and applications
- Temporary files created when working with decrypted data
- Data stored in Windows Restore Point when the Restore Point is deleted
- Files stored in Recycle Bin when emptied
- Or only specific types of files, folders and applications by configuring include/exclude lists

New Features in Version 5
Click on the following new product features for more information:
- Enhanced functionality and interface for BCWipe Task Manager
- Service mode added for more powerful wiping privileges like wiping locked files
- Hidden and silent operations – run wiping without displaying tasks and messages on screen
- Progress of running tasks displayed in status column
- Terminate running tasks from Task Manager
- View detailed progress by opening associated log file
- Show which user created each wiping task (convenient for multi-user computers)
- More attractive icons added to user interface
- Additional task scheduling options
- At system startup – before logon
Wiping tasks scheduled 'at startup' were previously performed at user log on. For added security, this properly evolved 'startup' task schedule now truly runs at system startup before user log on. When wiping tasks run at startup, they are not displayed on the screen anywhere – the wiping operation is performed in the background, transparently and silently. Scheduling wiping tasks at user log on is now listed more accurately as the 'logon' option.
- At logoff/shutdown
When a user has finished working on the computer and is ready to leave for the day, BCWipe tasks can just be set to run at logoff/shutdown without additional effort. Scheduling tasks at logoff/shutdown also increases the power for wiping web browser history. Some Internet Explorer files are locked by the system and cannot be completely wiped while Windows is active. Running wiping tasks at logoff resolves this issue.
- While no users are logged on
If wiping tasks are set to run on a regular schedule (daily or weekly), then they can still be completed even if the user is logged off. In cases where multiple users share a computer, a wiping task scheduled by one user will still run if another user is logged on – wiping tasks run as long as the computer is turned on.
