What is ITAD
Secure IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) involves the safe and responsible disposal of IT hardware, ensuring that all sensitive data is thoroughly sanitised or destroyed through professional data eradication techniques.
ITAD goes beyond merely discarding end-of-life IT assets, it embraces the principles of data governance related to precisely how this hardware is retired.

Here’s why ITAD is crucial!
Data Security and Compliance:
- Secure Data Destruction: Before disposing of any IT asset, ensuring secure data destruction is essential to protect sensitive information.
- Methods like data wiping, shredding, degaussing or physical deformation ensure that data is irretrievable from the legacy devices.
- Compliance with Regulations: Governed by numerous data protection and e-waste compliance regulations (such as the EU’s Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment directive), ITAD ensures responsible disposal while following strict environmentally friendly practices.
Preventing Costly Data Breaches:
- Data breaches are financially costly and can severely damage an organisation’s reputation overnight.
- Smaller businesses are increasingly targeted, as they may invest less in cybersecurity and ITAD practices.
- Breaches can occur even after asset disposal, especially from smaller portable smart devices.
- In summary, secure ITAD safeguards against security vulnerabilities, data breaches, and environmental impact, ensuring responsible handling of legacy IT equipment.
