As companies deploy New Technologies into their organizations, they are faced with real problems of what to do with their old and outdated IT Assets. Be it data security, safety, confidentiality, compliance or environmental policies, it is no longer acceptable for companies to simply throw away failed or decommissioned data bearing devices or just pass them over to a third party. Companies have to consider protecting data that exists on such devices. Protecting this confidential information can not only help to avoid costly and potentially disastrous data breaches, but also to keep the company’s intellectual property safe. One company, TechR2,® LLC, has the A to Z solution.
TechR2 acts as an objective third party with the expertise to assess the security risk and customize a complete solution for its clients.
TechR2 provides an independent certification of destruction with teeth, backed by a world renowned insurer, Llyod’s of London.
