Leading IT and mobile device recycling company, ICEX, passes forensic data security audit
Witham, Essex (PRWEB UK) 27 November 2013 -- ICEX are an IT and mobile device (tablet and mobile phone) recycling company firmly focused on providing a totally secure service to businesses in the UK for dealing with the removal of data on such devices and the subsequent recycling of these products.
Using CESG government approved software, all data can be guaranteed to be 100% erased and provides an auditable trail for businesses to prove that there is no possibility of a data breach using our processes. The company holds a number of ISO standards, verified by external auditors, which are in addition to the ADISA forensic audits used to validate the systems employed to keep a client’s data safe.
A client’s equipment is collected using ICEX’s own by satellite tracked vehicles and taken to its secure facility for processing. Once the items have had all their data removed, a full report is provided to the client as proof of any data erasure that has occurred. If a product or drive is damaged and cannot be erased, the item is physically shredded into small pieces at the ICEX location to ensure no data recovery is possible.
