// WHEN THE AUDITOR ASKS
What you'll hand over. Line by line.
// MOST VENDORS
- ✕ Vague "Certificate of Destruction" not backed by accepted compliance standards
- ✕ Destruction report not itemized, dated, or signed by certified technician
- ✕ Incomplete chain of custody with gaps
- ✕ Manual reporting requests with delayed response
Good luck at discovery.

// CYBERCRUNCH
- ✓ Certificate of Destruction backed by NIST 800-88 + NAID AAA standards
- ✓ Serialized & itemized, signed & timestamped by certified tech
- ✓ Chain-of-custody reporting with: GPS-verified pickups, signed BOLs, before-and-after pickup photos
- ✓ Automated reporting within SLA. No manual requests. No delays.

Certifications aren't logos. They're the layers of protection standing between your data and a breach.
NIST 800-88
Rev. 1 · Federal data sanitization standard
- Clear, Purge, or Destroy matched to data sensitivity
- Pre/post verification & forensic-grade validation
- Adopted by HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOX, DoD, CMMC
NAID AAA
Third-party destruction certification
- Unannounced annual audits of facility & process
- Verified technician background checks & training
- Chain-of-custody & destruction documentation
R2v3
Responsible recycling certification
- Data security controls audited at every touchpoint
- Downstream material tracking through the full chain
- Environmental & worker safety compliance
$10M CYBER LIABILITY
Financial backstop
- 10× the typical ITAD cyber coverage ceiling

Ask your vendor for their data protection policies.
Then ask us for ours. The difference is what's on your balance sheet when something goes wrong.
