Alm certifications and standards

 

  • ISO 9001: Receiving, sorting, demanufacturing, testing, resale, and data destruction of electronic equipment.
  • ISO 45001: Universal scope: Receiving, sorting, demanufacturing, testing, resale, and data destruction of electronic equipment.
  • ISO 14001: Receiving, sorting, demanufacturing, testing, resale, and data destruction of electronic equipment.
  • ISO 27001: IT policy, process, device, and system controls that safeguard organizational information security.
  • Responsible Recycling (R2v3): The Responsible Use and Recycling (R2) standard, is intended to regulate and minimize the impact of electronics refurbishing and recycling on the environment and on the workers engaged in the e-recycling process. This standard focuses on the assurance that sensitive data will be destroyed, electronics with residual value will be reused, and their assets will not be disposed of in any landfills.
  • NIST 800-88: Once every asset to be decommissioned has been identified, Teraware goes to work. Teraware’s agent-based architecture scales to any size job; whether it’s one drive or 100,000, Teraware erases all drives concurrently, minimizing customer data exposure risk window. NIST 800-88 is descriptive with regard to media types, chain of custody, methods of destruction, and reporting. ITRenew follows NIST 800-88 and goes a step further, exceeding all industry standards and compliance.
  • ADISA Certified Data Sanitization: The Asset Disposal & Information Security Alliance (ADISA) offers accreditation to companies that maintain the highest standards in IT asset disposal and data sanitization. Only nine companies worldwide are expected to achieve ADISA data sanitization accreditation for both HDDs and SSDs in 2020.
    • Passed ADISA Threat Matrix Level 2: Iron Mountain's proprietary sanitization platform, Teraware, is the only software to have done so for multiple types of SSDs and HDDs (incl. SATA-HDD, SAS-HDD, SATA-SSD, SAS-SSD, FC-SSD, and NVMe-SSD)
    • Only sanitization platform to pass ADISA accreditation using the latest drive technologies (NVMe) and capacities (10TB+)
    • 17 Certificates for Forensic Data Erasure of SSDs and HDDs
