IT ASSET RECYCLING & DISPOSITION

Prioritise security, sustainability, and brand protection

3 SITAD services- Iron Mountain IT Asset Disposition

Failure to properly dispose of IT equipment can have serious consequences for your data, the environment, and your brand reputation. Go the extra step with your IT asset disposition program and ensure security and sustainability with a program that includes recycling, remarketing and compliant destruction of retired IT assets.

Secure Data destruction (SDD) or data erasure is foundational to data protection and supporting compliance. Simply getting a certificate of destruction is not enough without adhering to compliance standards. Failure to follow proper standards could lead to reputation damage and financial fines. As per the NIST 800-88 guidelines for media sanitization, degaussing is the recommended method for purging data on magnetic media.

Customer Success Story

IT RECYCLING STRATEGY STRENGTHENS CYBERSECURITY AND REVENUE FOR GLOBAL CONSULTANCY

CHALLENGE

Mott MacDonald wanted a single, global process to securely dispose of end-of-life, data-bearing assets. Other key drivers were minimising the risk of reputational damage from data loss, licenced software being used inappropriately and sustainability and income through responsible IT recycling.

SOLUTION

Iron Mountain Secure IT Asset Disposition (SITAD) ensures remarketing and destruction of old IT equipment and offers asset tracking throughout the entire journey. The service allows disposal costs to be offset against items sold at best market rates.

RESULTS

IT teams don’t have to dismantle or wipe old hardware, leaving more time for innovation. Employees get the latest technology sooner. The business benefits from higher productivity, reduced risk of data breaches, smaller carbon footprint and sustainable practice. It also stands to realise £500,000 in annual revenue once all sites are onboarded.
