Retire IT Right.
A Practical ITAD Playbook.
Your retired IT assets may be out of service. The risk attached to them is not.
Laptops, servers, storage devices and other end-of-life technology can still contain sensitive information, retain financial value and create environmental obligations long after they have been removed from use.
Download our playbook to building a secure, compliant and defensible IT Asset Disposition strategy.
Inside the playbook:
Understand the risks
Explore the security, privacy, governance and sustainability risks associated with poorly managed end-of-life technology.
Build a defensible processv
Learn how secure collection, chain of custody, asset reconciliation, data sanitisation and reporting work together.
Choose the right data outcome
Understand the difference between deletion, certified data erasure and physical destruction, and when each method should be used.
Recover more value
Discover how suitable retired assets can be refurbished, resold or repurposed rather than immediately recycled.
Assess your ITAD provider
Use the practical provider scorecard to evaluate security controls, accreditations, reporting, environmental practices and value recovery capabilities.
Review your readiness
Complete the included checklist to identify gaps in your organisation’s current IT retirement process.
Retiring technology is more than a disposal task.
Every technology refresh creates important questions.
What data remains on each device?
Who is responsible once the equipment leaves your site?
Can the asset be reused or resold?
How will you prove that it was securely sanitised, destroyed or recycled?
Without a controlled IT Asset Disposition process, organisations can expose themselves to unnecessary security, compliance, financial and environmental risk.
Retire IT Right helps you understand what a strong ITAD program should look like and what to expect from your provider.
