Decommissioning · ITAD · Asset Recovery
Plan secure retirement with accountable ITAD partners, documented data sanitisation and a clear residual-value recovery strategy.
Overview
Retirement is where data-security risk and lost value concentrate. Devices go missing in transit, erasure goes unverified and residual value is left with the disposal vendor.
We design a controlled decommissioning and IT asset disposition (ITAD) programme: serialised chain of custody, verified data sanitisation and transparent grading so you recover the value that remains.
What's included
- Secure collection & chain of custody
- Data sanitisation & destruction
- Grading, valuation & recovery
- Compliance documentation & audit trail
Challenges we solve
- Unverified data erasure and incomplete certificates
- Gaps in chain of custody between site and facility
- Low or opaque buyback values
- Environmental and EPR compliance obligations
Our approach
- 1
Decommission planning
Agree scope, schedules and sanitisation standards (for example aligned to NIST SP 800-88 guidance).
- 2
Partner selection
Assess ITAD providers on security, certifications, processing sites and reporting.
- 3
Controlled execution
Serialised collection, sealed transport and reconciliation at the facility.
- 4
Recover & report
Grade and value assets, reconcile proceeds and close with full audit evidence.
Deliverables
- Decommissioning runbook
- ITAD partner evaluation
- Per-device erasure and disposition records
- Value recovery report
Business outcomes
- Reduced data-breach exposure
- Audit-ready compliance evidence
- Higher residual value recovered
