What is Secure IT Asset Disposal?
IT Asset Disposal (ITAD) is the secure and compliant process of managing and disposing of end-of-life IT equipment while protecting data in line with GDPR and data protection legislation. It includes the certified destruction of data-bearing devices to eliminate any risk of unauthorised access or data breaches.
Why Is Proper ITAD Important?
Disposing of IT equipment incorrectly can expose your organisation to serious risks:
- Data breaches from improperly wiped devices
- Regulatory penalties for non-compliance with GDPR and WEEE directives
- Environmental harm from landfill waste or toxic components
Our ITAD service is designed to eliminate those risks and turn your redundant assets into a secure and sustainable solution.
