Data Security Services for IT Asset Disposal

The disposal of old IT assets is becoming as complicated as the acquisition of new ones. Each PC, server, storage system, or IT device retired poses a data security risk and potential environmental hazard. Over the next five years, it is estimated that more than 800 million PCs will be replaced, presenting a tremendous opportunity for sensitive personal and corporate information to fall into the wrong hands. Monetary fines and damage to brand equity can quickly mount, costing organizations millions. That’s why companies turn to Converge’s NextPhase division.

Data Security Process

Depending on the sensitivity of your data and your organization’s risk tolerance, Converge can offer a data security solution to satisfy even your most stringent business requirements.

Using our proprietary risk assessment checklist, our professionals first work to understand your unique data security needs by performing an analysis of your current IT asset disposition policies and process. This information is then compiled and compared to industry best practices – creating a risk-tolerance profile that will validate your organization’s current process or identify areas of possible concern and potential courses of action.

Ultimately the safest data is no data. That’s why Converge offers data security services focused on proper data erasure and destruction techniques:

• Data Erasure – All data erasure is done in strict accordance with U.S. Dept. of Defense 5220.22-M standards at our ISO 9001- and ISO 14001-certified facilities.
• Destruction – Hard drives designated for destruction are securely shredded into particles in accordance with NSA standards. All particles are properly recycled.
