Finding the Right ITAD Partner for Your Business
Choosing the right IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) partner isn’t just about getting rid of old hardware—it’s about security, compliance, and maximizing the value of your retired IT assets. The best ITAD partners ensure proper data destruction, environmental responsibility, and seamless logistics.
But how do you know which ITAD company is right for you? Before you sign any agreements, here are the top questions to ask ITAD partners to make sure they meet your needs.
1. How Do You Ensure Secure Data Destruction?
Data security is non-negotiable. A reputable ITAD provider should offer certified data destruction services, including:
- On-site and off-site shredding of hard drives and storage media
- Certified data wiping that meets NIST and DoD standards
- Certificates of Data Destruction for compliance and audit purposes
At DES Technologies, we take data security seriously. We provide verifiable destruction processes that ensure your sensitive information is permanently erased.
2. What Certifications and Compliance Standards Do You Follow?
Your ITAD partner should comply with industry regulations, such as:
- R2v3 or e-Stewards Certification for responsible recycling
- ISO 14001 & 45001 for environmental and safety management
- NAID AAA Certification for secure data destruction
Working with a certified ITAD provider means your company stays compliant and avoids risks associated with improper disposal.
3. Do You Offer IT Asset Remarketing?
A great ITAD provider doesn’t just recycle; they help you recover value from your used IT assets. Ask if they offer:
- Resale of refurbished IT equipment
- Revenue-sharing programs for high-value hardware
- Detailed reporting on asset value recovery
DES Technologies specializes in maximizing your returns through secure resale channels while ensuring proper handling of all equipment.
4. What is Your Process for ITAD Logistics?
Logistics can be a hassle, but a strong ITAD partner will handle everything, including:
- On-site pickup and secure transportation
- Inventory audits and tracking
- Detailed chain-of-custody reporting
At DES Technologies, we provide a turnkey ITAD solution—handling everything from pickup to final reporting, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
5. How Do You Ensure Environmental Responsibility?
Sustainability matters. Look for an ITAD provider that follows zero-landfill policies, partners with certified recyclers, and provides proper environmental reporting.
DES Technologies has been an industry leader for 60 years, ensuring IT assets are responsibly repurposed, resold, or recycled in compliance with EPA guidelines.
