IT Asset Disposition

Secure, documented ITAD for corporate hardware refresh cycles, office moves, and data center decommissioning. Full chain of custody with certificate of destruction.

What's Included in ITAD

Every ITAD engagement includes data destruction, asset inventory, and certification — not as add-ons, but as standard.

Data Destruction

Physical hard drive crushing, shredding, or wiping aligned with DoD 5220.22-M standard and NIST SP 800-88 guidelines. Every drive tracked by serial number with a certificate of destruction.

Asset Inventory

We document every asset by serial number, model, and condition before and after processing. Full audit trail from your loading dock to final disposition.

Certificate of Recycling

Receive a detailed certificate covering all materials processed — suitable for LEED documentation, audits, and regulatory compliance records.
