Secure, environmentally friendly and cost effective solution

SECURE PROCESS

Certified data sanitisation on all data bearing devices

Background

Ancero is a full service IT and communications provider that helps small to medium size businesses leverage cloud solutions to drive growth, collaboration and productivity. Ancero’s client base exists across the North East of the United States, the company has been in operation for over 20 years.

As a successful service provider, Ancero assesses client networks for efficiency and advises on appropriate changes. System monitoring, technology migration, software and hardware upgrades often entail the removal of redundant hardware, which usually will still be working, but no longer serves company requirements in terms of functionality or operational cost. Over its long history, Ancero had accumulated a large quantity of this kind of equipment and needed a solution that was secure, environmentally friendly and cost effective.

The Challenge

Ancero’s SOC II Type 2 Certification dictates strict information security and privacy standards for the handling of highly sensitive customer data on data bearing devices and is required to keep records that demonstrate all data has been properly sanitised. Due to space constraints, Ancero needed an IT Asset Disposition service to carry out this data sanitisation to the best industry standards, and to provide a secure chain of custody from one facility to the other with full asset tracking and security protocols in operation at every stage.
