ASSET DISPPOSAL AND RECYCLING
Asset Disposal
As IT Asset Disposal specialists, let’s get back to basics and talk definitions. What do we mean by IT asset disposal?
For our purposes at Absolute IT, asset disposal is where a computer or electronic storage device is removed from the ownership of a business and is processed by a third party for recycling or disposal.
In addition to this, we also deal with data erasure. This means making sure your redundant IT assets are completely stripped of all sensitive personal data before they’re recycled. This is an important point, as a lot of sensitive data remains on storage devices, even if they are wiped by conventional means. For complete peace of mind, we use Blancco, the market leading data sanitisation platform, to remove every trace of sensitive data on your assets, thus ensuring compliance with the DPA.

Recycling
In an age where cybercrime and identity fraud is on the increase, and customer data is stored on a growing number of devices, safely disposing of your IT assets is more important than ever.
As a business, your customers, suppliers and employees entrust you with personal and highly sensitive data. This includes personal information such as address, National Insurance number and date of birth, and can also extend to financial data, bank details, purchase history, credit ratings and consumer preferences. People have the right to expect that this information is kept safe and secure, as in the wrong hands it can leave them vulnerable to crime and discrimination.
