A practical electronics handoff for office clearances

Furniture liquidation may uncover PCs, monitors, printers, servers, and network hardware. eLake handles the electronics portion through ITAD, recycling, data protection, and agreed value-recovery options.

Data Destruction & Proof

Arrange the data service for retired drives and devices. Wiping / Media Sanitization or physical destruction can be coordinated with Proof of Erasure or a Certificate of Data Destruction for the applicable service.

NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2
Use current media-sanitization guidance when planning the data service.
Wiping / Media Sanitization
Address stored data on suitable drives and devices.
Physical Destruction
Destroy data-bearing media designated for physical destruction.
Proof of Erasure
