The real liability
The Hardware Looks Retired. The Data Is Not.
Laptops, servers and drives can retain customer records, employee data, credentials and financial information long after they leave active service.
A proper ITAD project tracks data-bearing assets, applies the approved sanitization method, separates recoverable value and documents the final outcome.
- Identify every data-bearing device before downstream processing.
- Keep custody controlled from pickup through final disposition.
- Recover eligible value before material recycling.
- Close the project with evidence, not assumptions.
