Six Key Considerations for ITAD security

Understanding Security in IT Asset Disposition (ITAD)

New methods for data protection are becoming increasingly crucial for business owners. Never more so than when an IT asset reaches the end of its useful life.

Every organisation that collects, stores and processes data must always secure it, including when it is time to dispose of hardware and data-bearing assets. Assets heading off for re-sale or disposal can be exposed to criminals who want access to your business data.
