- On-site data destruction – Onsite or mobile data destruction is convenient, cost-effective, and efficient. The company will send a vehicle to your business and destroy confidential data and documents in your presence.
- Site decommissioning and relocation – If you are relocating or shutting down a worksite, you need a company that offers site decommissioning and relocation services. The company will return services to their original state, remove cable and fire suppression elements, decommission and relocate assets, wipe and/or destroy assets, and handle logistics, packing, and shipping of IT assets.
- Data erasure – Data erasure and hard drive destruction is the complete and secure data removal from electronic devices.

Maintain Compliance with IT Asset Management Risks and Controls
Companies across industries should have internal IT asset management risks and controls. This ensures you remain compliant with all federal and state requirements and avoid fees, fines, and other consequences of non-compliance. IT asset management risks and controls should include:
- Asset identification – This is a detailed inventory of all IT assets owned by the company across locations.
- Asset tracking – This is organized, monitored tracking of IT assets. Most companies use an ITAM tool that collects information like financial, contractual, and inventory data.
- Asset maintenance – IT asset management is completed in accordance with the asset’s lifestyle stage and includes asset repairs, upgrades, and replacements.
The risks and controls should also account for all stages of an IT asset lifestyle, including:
- Planning – This involves making decisions about the assets needed, how they will be used, and the best way to acquire them. It includes completing a cost-benefit analysis and total cost of ownership analysis.
- Procurement – This is the acquisition of assets by buying, licensing, renting, or building them.
- Deployment – This is the installation and integration of assets across the company.
- Maintenance – This is the maintenance, upkeep, upgrades, and repairs of all IT assets.
- Retirement – This occurs at the end of an asset’s lifestyle when it is too old to be efficient and effective any longer. Retirement involves wiping or erasing, recycling, or disposing of assets.
