IT Asset Disposal for Business

For many businesses, the decision to dispose of computers, laptops, phones, printers and other equipment comes with a lot of hassle.  However, all of these pieces of equipment have something that is precious to your organization – your intellectual property and data.  Many organizations also need to comply with regulations or privacy policies to ensure their customer data is securely disposed.  Whether you need to dispose of a couple of assets or a large inventory, Conscious Networks Asset Disposal is here to assist.

Secure Data Destruction

Are you concerned about safely destroying employee or client hardware?  We offer a modern approach to secure data destruction.  Our third-party validation process provides a white-labeled disposal certificate, ensuring your data has been wiped according to NIST 800-88 standards. Once destruction is finalized, this certificate will be accessible in a lifecycle management profile that you can access anytime.  This is especially critical for compliance purposes.

Secure data destruction is crucial in today’s digital landscape, where sensitive information is constantly at risk of exposure. Improper disposal of hardware can lead to data breaches, identity theft, and severe financial and reputational damage. By ensuring that data is thoroughly wiped and irretrievable, businesses protect their clients, employees, and themselves from potential threats. Moreover, secure data destruction is often a legal requirement, helping organizations comply with regulations and industry standards. It not only safeguards your company but also builds trust with clients who rely on you to handle their data responsibly.

Cyber Liability Insurance

Asset disposal plays a critical role in reducing the risk landscape for businesses, making it a key factor in obtaining cyber liability insurance. Insurers increasingly require evidence of secure data destruction as part of their underwriting process, as it demonstrates that a company takes proactive steps to protect sensitive information. Properly disposing of outdated or obsolete hardware minimizes the chances of data leaks and breaches, which are significant risks in the eyes of insurers. By maintaining thorough documentation of secure asset disposal, companies not only meet compliance standards but also position themselves as lower-risk clients, potentially leading to more favorable insurance terms and premiums.

Proper documentation of secure hardware disposal can facilitate the process of obtaining cyber liability insurance for both you, your MSP, and your clients.  It’s an essential practice (or even a requirement) for meeting various compliance standards.
