According to Gartner®,

“The three most important tasks to execute correctly, and to which ITAD executives should pay special attention, are transportation logistics/chain of custody, data sanitization, and recycling. These three tasks represent the greatest risk in the ITAD process, and they should be handled by an experienced, well-vetted ITAD service provider.”

Iron Mountain is recognised as a Representative Provider in the Gartner Market Guide for IT Asset Disposition for the fifth time consecutively.

What sets our ITAD services apart?

With most IT teams fully consumed by their “day jobs”—setting up new employees’ computers, managing network security, deploying and supporting applications, and maintaining an infrastructure—there’s almost no time left to focus on best practices for ITAD.

Inadequate attention dedicated to the proper disposition of IT assets leads to increased risks, including loss of control over confidential data, lack of compliance, and impacted financial performance.

We hold the following certifications to ensure the highest standards for our ITAD services: R2V3ISO 45001ISO 27001ISO 9001, and ISO 14001

Organisations place high value on operational efficiency and maximum return on tech investments. We get it; your company data is extremely valuable, and we don’t take it for granted. That’s why we go that extra mile by providing your team with:
