Secure, Compliant, & Sustainable ITAD

We simplify the management of IT Asset Disposition. We consistently meet all SLA's through our ERP tracking and reporting system. 

What is ITAD?

ITAD is the acronym used for Information Technology Asset Disposition. Obsolete IT hardware, equipment and electronic devices is repurposed, resold or recycled in an environmentally safe and responsible manner. A critical element to the ITAD process is to ensure that organization’s information is sanitized using secure data destruction methods, protecting your organizations data.


CERS Lifecycle manages the disposition of your retired IT assets through its comprehensive ITAD Program and services.


We will assist in determining your option; recycle, repurpose or dispose of your retired assets. CERS Lifecycle uses advanced sanitization methods to erase your data compliant to NIST 800-88 and DOD standards.

ITAD Process

Beginning with a comprehensive IT asset audit, Our team will work closely with your organization to identify eligible equipment for ITAD disposition. During this phase our team will:


  • Review your IT inventory and determine EOL assets
  • Determine site decommissioning needs
  • Define media sanitization requirements
  • Determine (ROI) expectations

CERS Lifecycle offers secure, white-glove logistics including:


  • Sealed containers and serialized asset tracking
  • End to end chain-of-custody documentation
  • Monitor logistics
  • Global coverage

As assets are received, they are processed following a R2v3 process workflow to ensure complete traceability and control.

Each asset is:


  • Scanned and assigned a unique asset ID
  • Double-entry client asset accounting
  • Entered into our ERP system, where we track S/N, make, model, type, condition, etc.
  • Staged for data sanitization or further inspection 

This detailed logging will ensure that every item is accounted for, and satisfies 3rd party auditing and compliance, allowing us to generate real time reporting for all your ITAD projects.


This enhanced logging also gives you the opportunity to manage your lifecycle from purchasing to disposal.

Data security is at the core of our ITAD process. We follow NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 standards for data sanitization. Based on your request, we provide:


  • Logical wiping with DOD certified software
  • Physical destruction utilizing on-site or off-site shredding or degaussing of storage media 
  • Report tracking of make, models, S/N and sanitization method


More detailed reports are available upon client request.


After Sanitization we image the drives with an OS for refurbishing.

Assets are then assessed for resale or recycling. Our process considers:


  • Age, regional market and current demand
  • Functional condition
  • Part/commodity recovery value


Resale units are refurbishedcrucial in recovering maximum ROI, helping offset future procurement costs.

Eligible equipment is remarketed through our global resale network.


  • Business-grade laptops, desktops, servers, and networking equipment are resold individually or bulk lots through various e-commerce channels
  • Components are harvested are resold or reused
  • Scrap is sent downstream for further processing & resold as commodities

Upon completion of ITAD process clients will receive documentation in our portal that may include:


  • Inventory management (Asset Vision)
  • Certificates of Destruction (Inventory Reconciliation Report)
  • Sanitization Reports (Media Sanitization)
  • ESG Reporting showing real-time CO2e offsets
