ITAD Is Dead.

Shredding and ITAD Models ≠ Data Protection

The previous ITAD industry model for IT asset and data destruction is no longer compliant and is shifting from one focused on used end-point data storage device remarketing, to one focused on the protection of the critical data they contain. The awareness of the new compliance requirements has grown, but there has been a lack of any significant innovation in the data destruction space.
Until now, with TechR2’s Tear-A-Byte® process for the destruction of critical data on end-point storage devices as the only patented, comprehensive and 100% compliant data destruction process.
With multiple locations worldwide, TechR2 is a disruptive technology company – patent holder and software developer focused on destroying critical data on end-point storage devices to ensure our client’s compliance with all global data privacy laws and industry standards.

Data destruction begins at end-of-life

The new data security model – Data Destruction as a Service (DDaaS) concentrates on the secure data management controls for critical data contained on ‘End of Life’ (EoL) devices.

Outdated data destruction methods are not complaint

Tear-A-Byte offers secure data destruction solutions that comply with GDPR, NIST, and other global standards. We ensure onsite completion, provide IT asset inventory data within 72 hours, and follow risk-averse processes that track, contain, dispose, document, and verify each step within your four walls. Our dual authorization program with sanitizers and verifiers adds an extra layer of security.

Regulations for protection of data are proliferating worldwide

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union has already levied tens of millions in fines, while the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), enforceable since 2020, has generated its first-class action lawsuit. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Standard governs all US Federal agencies and 35 states, and the new Brazilian General Data Protection Law (LGPD) became enforceable in 2020. Additionally, the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), based on the NIST Cybersecurity framework, has been required for all Federal contracts since September 2020.

‟ITAD focuses exclusively on data destruction, yet Zero-Trust, NIST, ISO, and GDPR standards demand more meticulous factors of management for data-at-rest, beyond ITAD.

Tear-A-Byte 42U, 24U and 10U appliances work hand-in-hand with the Tear-A-Byte process, fulfilling regulatory demands, and achieving unmatched industry compliance.”
