Many companies have cupboards, rooms and even basements filling up with redundant IT equipment. This equipment shouldn’t just be thrown away with the rubbish as it could contain important or sensitive information which needs to be securely destroyed whilst companies have a legal obligation to ensure that certain products are disposed of in accordance with the WEEE directive and in line with any applicable Data Protection requirements.
To help companies satisfy their compliance obligations Iron Mountain is running an introductory offer on its Secure IT Asset Destruction Service (“SITAD Services”) enabling companies to securely dispose of up to 100 IT assets for a fixed fee of £1000.
