On Site Process - Professional Results

According to the Norcross Group, a professional digital forensics group, data exposure is most often a result of process failure. Disk wiping technology is well developed and rarely fails. Our process is built for redundancy to minimize failure.

• Electronic inventory received directly from the U.S. Micro proprietary wipe solution.
• Electronic audits of inventory counts against expected totals.
• Personal verification of inventory by field tech, U.S. Micro project manager, and customer Project Manager.
• Inventory details are emailed to all project managers for verification.
• Project Manager sign off before any inventory leaves the site.
• Additional verification when inventory arrives at the U.S. Micro Atlanta Processing facility.
• Additional wipe when inventory arrives at the U.S. Micro Atlanta Processing facility.
• End Result: Assets are cleaned before a breach can happen.

Supported Technology - Details Matter

Information is often missed when equipment is processed and loaded by untrained personnel. With data storage increasingly present in common office equipment at ever greater densities, it is important for disposal by trained personnel. We train our techs for the following scenarios, which are added to as technology dictates.

• Traditional office devices such as computers and laptops.
• Traditional server equipment such as drive arrays, backup tapes, etc.
• Identify and secure loose hard drives and extra hard drives in and out of machines, including external drives on desks.
• Check for loose papers, compact disks, and other data left in laptop bags and drives.
• Check for loose USB drives, flash cards, cameras, etc.
• Secure cell phones, PDAs, and other mobile devices.
• Copiers, printers, faxes and other office equipment which often have internal hard drives.
• Net Effect: We find and solve risks other vendors miss.

Standards Compliance

Standards create a foundation for building excellence. At U.S. Micro we start with these standards to build our secure processes.

• US DoD 5220.22-M
• NIST 800-88
• IDC Grade
• Remember: A standard is only a baseline. Your ITAD vendor should strive to exceed and excel, not just meet.
