Data Sanitization
Perhaps the greatest risk to company’s when dealing with technology recycling/asset disposal is the mishandling of their electronic data. Our processes ensure data is properly destroyed. There are many methods of data destruction including sanitization, degaussing, and physical destruction (R2:2013 Guidance, section 8.1). ITAD Technologies works with its clients to determine the best method for removing client’s information from all data-bearing devices. Specifically, all data sanitization processes meet the most current NIST standard. Furthermore, periodic samples of devices are tested by an independent audit to ensure 100% destruction of all electronic information.
Our employees are trained to identify data storage devices during the receiving and sorting processes (R2:2013 Guidance, section 8.2). Independent validation of your data destruction processes is required to ensure successful destruction (R2:2013 Guidance, section 8.7). We provide documented evidence after the data is sanitized.
For SCSI, SATA, SAS, and Fiber HDD and Solid-State storage devices ITAD Tech utilizes innovative data sanitization technology that allows our solutions to comply with ISO, NIST, HIPAA, PCI DDS, SOX and other regulatory standards.
For Data Center storage sanitization demands, ITAD utilizes a specially designed Erasure Appliances and Enterprise Data Erasure Software. This allows for the complete destruction of data from loose hard drives, storage arrays, and entire storage platforms. This protects you and your company’s reputation, maintains consumer confidence, and of course protects your confidential information from falling into the wrong hands.
Additionally, we create secondary and tertiary redundancy that drives have been sanitized properly and your data is thoroughly and completely purged.
