At Bigwise we provide IT asset dismantling and decommissioning which refers to the process of safely and securely removing, disassembling, and disposing of or recycling IT equipment that is no longer in use. This process is critical for maintaining data security, complying with regulations, and managing the environmental impact of electronic waste. Here's an overview of the key steps involved:
1. Asset Inventory and Assessment
- Inventory Check: Create a detailed inventory of all IT assets, including servers, computers, networking equipment, storage devices, and peripherals.
- Assessment: Determine the condition, value, and data sensitivity of each asset to decide whether it can be reused, resold, recycled, or disposed of.
2. Data Backup and Transfer
- Data Backup: Ensure all important data is backed up securely before decommissioning any IT asset.
- Data Migration: If necessary, migrate data to new systems or storage solutions.
3. Data Wiping and Destruction
- Data Wiping: Use certified data wiping software to securely erase data from storage devices. This step is crucial to prevent data breaches.
- Physical Destruction: For highly sensitive data, physically destroy the storage devices (e.g., hard drives, SSDs) to ensure data cannot be recovered.
4. Dismantling of Equipment
- Disassembly: Carefully disassemble IT equipment, separating components such as circuit boards, processors, memory, and batteries.
- Component Sorting: Sort components based on their material (e.g., metals, plastics) and potential for reuse or recycling.
5. Recycling and Disposal
- E-Waste Recycling:Our company has the state of art facility to process E-waste and can be done according local enviroment regulations. This reduces environmental impact by recovering valuable materials and ensuring proper disposal of hazardous substances.
- Safe Disposal: Dispose of non-recyclable components in compliance with local and international environmental regulations.
6. Documentation and Reporting
- Record Keeping: Maintain detailed records of the decommissioning process, including the methods used for data destruction, recycling, and disposal.
- Compliance Reporting: Provide necessary documentation to demonstrate compliance with data protection law Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA) and environmental regulations.
7. Certification
- Third-Party Certification: Obtain certification from a third-party vendor to verify that the dismantling and decommissioning process was conducted securely and in compliance with relevant standards.
8. Logistics and Transport
- Secure Transport: We will arrange for secure transport of IT assets to decommissioning facilities to prevent loss or theft during transit.
9. Review and Audit
- Process Review: Periodically review and audit the decommissioning process to ensure continuous improvement and compliance with evolving regulations.
This process ensures that IT assets are retired responsibly, minimizing risks to data security and the environment.
