Certified Data-Bearing Device Process

Secure Data Destruction and Verified Reporting

Digital ITAD processes data-bearing devices under R2v3-aligned practices with traceability, verification, and defensible reporting at every step.

Built for schools, banks, CPAs, law firms, medical practices, hospitals, and industrial and commercial organizations that require verified outcomes.

Covered Device Types

  • Laptops
  • Chromebooks
  • Hard drives

Verified Process Flow

  1. Devices are received and logged into chain-of-custody workflows.
  2. Each unit is verified by make, model, and serial when available.
  3. Locked devices are unlocked when required for certified data sanitization.
  4. Each device is wiped or destroyed based on condition and client requirements.
  5. Final reporting is delivered for audit and compliance records.

Why Locked Devices Still Create Risk

  • A locked device is not secure simply because it is locked.
  • Locked devices can often be unlocked and accessed outside the U.S.
  • Sending locked devices to uncertified recyclers creates real data risk.

Required Outcome

If a device cannot be unlocked and wiped, it is scrap. The only acceptable outcome is certified destruction. Anything else relies on trust rather than verification.
