Data security and chain of custody.

Every device we buy runs through the same documented process, from the moment it leaves your site to the moment it is settled. This is what your IT, legal, and procurement teams will ask about, and what we provide.

Common questions

Which sanitization method do you use?+

Sanitization follows NIST SP 800-88 guidelines, matched to the storage type. Where a drive cannot be verified as sanitized, it is removed and physically destroyed rather than resold.

Are you R2v3 or NAID certified?+

Physical destruction and recycling are performed through NAID AAA and R2v3-certified downstream partners, and we provide their documentation on request. Our own sanitization process, certificates, and serialized reporting are described above. Ask us for a sample certificate and report before you send anything.

Can we witness destruction or receive drives back?+

Yes. Tell us your requirement before pickup. Drives can be returned to you, or destroyed with documentation from our certified partner.

What happens to asset tags and enrollment?+

Asset tags are removed and enterprise or education enrollment is cleared before resale. School devices must be deprovisioned by the district; we confirm status on intake.
