Choosing a certified and experienced IT Asset Disposition vendor to safely wipe the data of your obsolete assets is crucial for avoiding sensitive data leakage. As devices reach their end-of-life point, it is important to understand the risk avoidances involved when dealing with a certified ITAD vendor. This is to steer clear of data breaches involving sensitive client or organizational data which could diminish your organization’s credibility and reputation.
The Advantages
Certified Third-Party Vendors
Partnering with a vendor that has been certified by a recognized third-party organization ensures due diligence. One of the most reliable certifications to look for is from the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID). The NAID AAA Certification is an industry-leading certification for data sanitization & destruction. It is important to use a NAID certified ITAD vendor, for ensuring the highest standards of data security and proper documentation of the disposition process.
Outsourcing a Vendor
Deciding to outsource a certified ITAD vendor is always the right option. It will help to save costs if you were to use your IT staff and ensure data destruction & sanitization processes are done according to best practices and in compliance with legal industry regulations.
On-site Data Wiping
A NAID-certified vendor has the capabilities for both plant-based and onsite data sanitization & destruction. Certified vendors can perform data destruction services inside your facility, so your data-bearing devices never leave the building. Further, certified vendors will physically destroy your electronic storage media, rendering the electronically stored data un-retrievable—giving you and your organization complete peace of mind.
