DOD 5220.22-m Equipment for DATA Destruction
DoD 5220.22-M is a stringent data sanitization standard established by the Department of Defense, outlining comprehensive procedures to securely erase sensitive information from electronic devices. This protocol involves a meticulous process of overwriting data multiple times with various patterns, ensuring that any previous information stored on the device becomes irretrievable. At our electronics recycling company, implementing DoD 5220.22-M means employing advanced methods that go beyond simple deletion or formatting. We utilize specialized software and equipment designed to perform multiple passes of data overwriting, effectively obliterating any traces of sensitive data. This rigorous process aligns with the highest security standards, ensuring that information on recycled devices remains completely inaccessible to unauthorized parties. Our commitment to DoD 5220.22-M compliance signifies our dedication to data security and confidentiality. By following these established procedures, we provide our clients with the assurance that their sensitive information is thoroughly and irreversibly removed before electronic devices undergo recycling or disposal. |
ISO 14001 Certification
ISO 14001 serves as a pivotal standard for electronics recycling companies, providing a structured framework to bolster their Environmental Management Systems (EMS). This globally recognized guideline assists in enhancing environmental performance, reducing ecological impact, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards in the electronics recycling industry. For electronics recycling firms, ISO 14001 acts as a strategic tool, systematically guiding the identification, management, and mitigation of environmental implications associated with their operations. This standard facilitates continuous improvement efforts, enabling companies to adopt more sustainable practices while fostering a culture of environmental responsibility within their organization. By embracing ISO 14001, electronics recycling companies showcase their commitment to reducing the environmental footprint of electronic waste. Achieving certification not only demonstrates adherence to environmental objectives and legal mandates but also enhances credibility and trust among stakeholders, including clients, partners, and the wider community. This certification showcases a dedication to responsible electronics recycling practices and underscores a company's proactive approach to environmental sustainability. |
NIST 800-88 Compliance
As an electronics recycling company, we adhere to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 800-88 Guidelines for Media Sanitization. These guidelines help us ensure secure destruction of information stored on electronic media. Our process aligns with the NIST 800-88 standards, including the use of a Certificate of Destruction that covers essential details like the person handling sanitization, media information, sanitization methods, and verification of destruction. Compliance involves linking the hard drive being disposed of to its original device and user, which we meticulously document. It's important to note that our adherence to NIST 800-88 extends beyond mere compliance. We've collaborated with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory on NASA projects, demonstrating our commitment to secure digital media destruction.
