ITAD
IT ASSET DISPOSITION
Having the right ITAD program and procedures in place to manage the disposition of retired assets is critical to protecting any companies data, the accountability of assets, maximizing value recovery and complying with regulatory and corporate risk management obligations.
ITAD Programs Mature Over Time

What is IT Asset Disposition?
According to the website TechTarget, the following is considered IT Asset Disposition:
IT asset disposition (ITAD) is the business built around disposing of obsolete or unwanted equipment in a safe and ecologically-responsible manner.
ITAD vendors specialize in the process of streamlining disposition of IT assets, while minimizing costs and maximizing recouping of losses. Businesses have a heavy replacement cycle of IT equipment. Enterprises with worn out old equipment are faced regularly with decisions of whether to refurbish or resell, recycle or dispose of business equipment. ~ techtarget.com

Responsible companies and organizations are still in search for programs that are data secure and environmentally compliant. Protecting sensitive information becomes more of an obstacle to organizations operating in this new environment. We should not ignore the importance of accountability to manage potential risks linked to mismanaged and improperly disposed of obsolete equipment.
