Data Security Services

Data Security
Today more than ever, retiring end-of-life assets poses a considerable amount of risk and responsibility.  Ensuring that data is securely removed from all storage devices protects not only your own data, but also that of your employees and customers.

Secure data sanitization is a key element to AER’s Reverse Logistics Management Solution.  Our in-house, custom hard drive testing and sanitization solutions utilize U.S. Department of Defense 5220.22-M certified software and any storage devices that do not pass testing are designated for secure destruction. AER also provides 100% transparent reporting, listing the details of every drive and its final disposition.

Secure Facilities
The security of your data and end-of-life materials is always our primary concern. Our facilities are access controlled using proximity cards, photo ID badges, metal detectors, Closed Circuit TV and manned guard posts, ensuring maximum protection of your sensitive data prior to its destruction.

Certified Destruction
AER Worldwide understands the need for secure destruction of proprietary and data bearing equipment. As one of our value added programs we offer on-site, witnessed hard drive destruction services without charging a premium for the service.

Data Capture / Reporting
AER Worldwide understands the critical role IT Asset Disposition Reporting plays in asset management and global compliance. We offer a full suite of customized, real-time environmental and financial reports online, allowing you to stay informed and take a proactive approach to ITAD decision-making.

AER’s reporting suite delivers detailed asset data, financial and chain-of-custody accountability and ensures compliance with corporate policies, legal requirements and regulatory mandates.  Working with AER means:

Secure Transport
AER follows industry best practices when transporting IT assets to one of our global facilities.  By using our own trucks or pre-qualified third party carrier, we assume all liability for your equipment and guarantee its safe delivery to one of our facilities.

Environmental Liability Elimination
Environmental Stewardship refers to “responsible use and protection of the natural environment through conservation and sustainable practices.”  Since Environmental Stewards strive to sustain natural resources and the environment for future generations, it is imperative that AER always utilizes the most secure and environmentally sensitive manner of processing of our customers’ material.

Pressures on the environment, resulting from development, are steadily increasing. Therefore, it is necessary for citizens and the business community to ensure that their activities and operations are environmentally responsible. For AER, Environmental Stewardship ensures that not only our own practices are environmentally sound, but also that the same guidelines are practiced by the downstream vendors who further process the materials we send them.  We strive for 100% environmental responsibility and will settle for nothing less.
