GDPR & IT ASSET DISPOSAL

GDPR or General Data Protection Regulations is the EU-driven, beefed-up version of the Data Protection Act, coming into force in May 2018. Complying with GDPR should be at the top of your priority action list.

• All businesses that handle EU/UK personal data must be GDPR compliant, regardless of their location
• Failure to comply can result in massive fines of up to 4% of annual turnover or £20 million, whichever is greatest. (Not forgetting the fallout from bad PR, damage to your reputation and ultimately, loss of customers)

Secure IT Asset Disposal & GDPR	On-site Auditing

How does it affect me?

Most businesses tend to think GDPR only refers to personal data used for marketing and sales purposes, but…

• The GDPR definition of data processing is wide, and a major part of the GDPR includes the erasure and destruction of personal data

What does this mean for me?

Unwanted or redundant IT equipment such as PCs laptops, printers, mobile phones, servers, EPOS equipment, etc. need to be securely disposed of to ensure that any personal data held on those devices is completely destroyed.

• Finding a company to dispose of your redundant equipment can mean you need to follow an in-depth and lengthy audit trail on that company and your disposed equipment
