Should Data Security be a concern?

A staggering number of ransomware attacks on municipalities are occurring across the US. According to the Washington Post, at least 2345 governments, health-care facilities, and schools in the United States were affected by ransomware in 2020. What does that have to do with retired technology?

"30% of all Data breaches come from not properly disposing of assets."
– Gartner Research

"Nearly half of ransomware attacks steal data before encrypting systems"
– Kroll

So, data breaches and ransomware attacks are linked. If you are concerned about ransomware attacks, you should also be concerned about disposing of your assets properly; you have come to the right place.

Using Public Surplus or An Auction Site?

Prior to sending your devices to public surplus, did you remove all assets tags and perform a DoD wipe? Even if you did, it can still go wrong. Most public surplus sites will not give you a serialized transfer of liability and do not vet the buyers as R2V3. Devices can still be identifiable to your company by the serial numbers via OEM records. You could still be on the hook for fines associated with improper e-waste disposal if your devices are discovered in a landfill. Today, these fines can be in the millions. With Total Technology and our R2V3 network, your compliance is assured, giving you peace of mind.

Data Security should also be a concern. Any data left on the device is exposed to whomever buys your auction lot. Selling devices with data on them without a contractual agreement to destroy the data puts your agency into a challenging and risk laden position (read data breach). With Total Technology, all data wiping is completed in accordance with NIST 800-88 (National Institute of Standard and Technology) or DOD (Department of Defense) standards.
