AER’s industry leading hardware retirement process ensures that every IT asset received is handled and processed with the utmost care. Our secure chain-of- custody procedures enable us to eliminate the risk for environmental and data security liabilities associated with the handling of IT assets. Depending on your organization’s risk tolerance, AER can offer a data-security solution to satisfy even your most demanding business requirements.
Data Security
Today more than ever, retiring end-of- life assets poses a considerable amount of risk and responsibility. Ensuring that data is securely removed from all storage devices protects not only your own data, but also that of your employees and customers. In addition, secure data sanitization is a key element to AER’s Reverse Logistics Management Solution.
Secure Transport and Facilities
AER follows industry best practices when transporting IT assets to one of our global facilities. By using our own trucks or pre-qualified third party carrier, we assume all liability for your equipment and guarantee its safe delivery to one of our facilities. Additionally, the security of your data and end-of- life materials is always our primary concern. Our facilities are access controlled using proximity cards, photo ID badges, metal detectors, Closed Circuit TV and manned guard posts, all of which ensure maximum protection of your sensitive data prior to its destruction.
Certified Destruction
AER Worldwide understands the need for secure destruction of proprietary and data bearing equipment. As one of our value added programs we offer on-site, witnessed hard drive destruction services without charging a premium for the service.
Data Capture / Reporting
AER Worldwide understands the critical role IT Asset Disposition Reporting plays in asset management and global compliance. We offer a full suite of customized, real-time environmental and financial reports online, allowing you to stay informed and take a proactive approach to ITAD decision-making.
Environmental Liability Elimination
It is imperative that AER always utilizes the most secure and environmentally sensitive manner of processing our customers’ material. For AER, Environmental Stewardship ensures that not only our own practices are environmentally sound, but also that the same guidelines are practiced by the downstream vendors who further process the materials we send them. We strive for 100% environmental responsibility and will settle for nothing less.
