Audited, Secure Data Destruction and IT Asset Recycling for Financial Services and Banking Firms

Banks and financial services firms face stringent regulations and challenges in the IT asset auditing, disposal, and destruction arena including:

Legal and contractual obligations to safeguard the client data residing on their servers, from credit card numbers to investment account records to transactional data.
The need for compliance with a range of Federal financial services regulations, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, FACTA Disposal Rule, Bank Secrecy Act, Patriot Act of 2002, PCI Data Security Standard, and the Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act.
Rapidly changing technologies require frequent IT asset management decisions, including upgrading, migrating, and refreshing hardware—including servers, hard drives, and other data storage devices.
