Securis is a strong believer in our Core Values and this week, one was put to the test. There was a large power outage in the area, and the warehouse was too dark for the disassembly team to see all of the pieces and parts required to securely remove hard drives and other data-containing devices.

Rather than giving up on the day’s project list of data security and electronics recycling, the team moved their work areas to where it was more well lit.

Securis’s core value innovation is truly at work here!
