Information Destruction Standards Protect Customers and Their Brands

ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Asset Recovery Corporation, a leader in environmentally-sound IT asset disposal solutions, announced today that it has been certified by the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) for computer hard drive sanitization and destruction. Both its plant-based and mobile solutions received certification.

With confidential data appearing on virtually every new electronic device, the need to destroy information has grown beyond mere paper shredding. Now the concern lies with laptops, PDAs, copy machines, and hundreds of other data-bearing devices. You need look no further than local headlines to find breaches that have occurred. To combat the onslaught of data security risks, it is critical that organizations have a clear policy in place to prevent data loss and protect their brand.

"Since our company's inception in 1987, we have put our customers first," said Marshall Johnson, CEO, Asset Recovery Corporation. "Our job is to protect our customer's brand by eliminating data and environmental concerns. By receiving NAID's AAA Certification, we have demonstrated this commitment."

NAID's AAA Certification process offers organizations guidance on establishing a secure data disposal program, and awards certification to select vendors who meet strict auditing processes.

"Given the confidential nature of our business, an integral part of our IT asset disposition plan depends on the thorough destruction of data," said David Oxley, IT Manager with Minneapolis-based law firm Leonard, Street and Deinard. "Asset Recovery Corporation's NAID certification provides me a greater level of certainty that we're providing our firm a superior level of data destruction."

Asset Recovery Corporation's data sanitization services ensure the elimination of sensitive data from a wide range of equipment. Services also include optional equipment destruction and removal of any identification tags. Each of these services is available at Asset Recovery Corporation's high-security facility or on-location at a customer's site.
