Our Secure ITAD Process

1. Scope & Asset Audit

We document device types, quantities, asset tags, and data-bearing media, then agree collection dates, access requirements, and chain-of-custody protocols.

2. Secure Collection & Transport

Tamper-evident containers, sealed cages, and tracked vehicles. A signed chain-of-custody accompanies assets from pickup to processing.

3. Certified Data Wiping & Drive Destruction

  • Software Erasure: NIST SP 800-88–aligned and crypto-erase methods for HDD/SSD where appropriate
  • Physical Destruction: Punching, crushing, or shredding of failed or sensitive drives
  • Full Audit Trail: Serial-number logs tied to each data-bearing device

4. Asset Decommissioning

We remove devices from financial, CMDB, MDM, and endpoint security systems to prevent shadow assets and licensing exposure.

5. Reuse, Remarketing & Donations (Optional)

Where policy allows, we test, grade, and refurbish equipment for secondary use to maximise residual value or social impact.

6. Responsible E-Waste Recycling

Non-reusable items are dismantled and recycled through accredited, eco-conscious partners with material recovery reporting.

7. Compliance Reporting

You receive Certificates of Data Erasure/Destruction, e-waste transfer notes, and a complete audit file for internal and external audits.

Shred the Risk, Not the Planet.
