How to Know When You’re Secure

By comparing the right and the wrong way to dispose of unwanted IT assets, you can know when your organization has achieved an acceptable level of security.

The Wrong Way - Letting Truckers Manage Your Risk

Data bearing assets left on hard drives—data that can cause exponential damage to an organization—are picked up by a recycling or ITAD vendor without any review or audit of the equipment in question. Assets are shipped, completely unsecure and unprotected, throughout every phase of the recycling process until they fall into the wrong hands—sometimes halfway around the world. Even if your company wipes the drives internally, you may not have the controls in place to ensure that every drive is completely wiped.

The U.S. Micro Way - Peace of Mind

• Ensures that only a U.S. Micro Field Technician will ever perform equipment pickups at customer locations. With an average tenure of at least 5 years, our Field Technicians undergo stringent criminal, credit, DOT, and drug testing on a quarterly basis.
• Mitigates all data risks found on the customer’s site, including stray USB drives, PDA’s, asset tags, and paper printouts found with equipment.
• Ensures no unsecure data leaves the customer’s facilities, by destroying all hard drives that contain data which cannot be verified as either wiped or encrypted.
• Performs a complete end-to-end security audit of all equipment.
• Utilizes multiple checkpoints and redundancy to ensure accuracy.

The bottom line - security means that you don't have to budget for costly discovery when something goes wrong.
