Your ITAD Vendor May Be Your Biggest Compliance Liability

The ITAD Compliance Problem Healthcare Organizations Underestimate

Every retired laptop, desktop, server, tablet, and medical device that ever accessed or stored protected health information carries a HIPAA obligation through the end of its life. Most healthcare organizations have a signed BAA with their ITAD vendor and consider the matter resolved. Most are wrong.

Sixty percent of data breaches during IT disposal occur not at the point of initial pickup, but downstream — after your certified vendor has transferred assets to a recycler, remarketer, or subcontractor. Your BAA does not automatically extend to those parties. Your audit trail likely ends at your vendor’s loading dock.

What We Provide

We are not an ITAD vendor. We do not handle, process, or take custody of any equipment. We provide independent, vendor-neutral analysis of your IT asset disposition program and recommend the certified provider that best fits your compliance requirements and recovery goals.

• Free 15–20 page independent ITAD intelligence report
• HIPAA and NIST 800-88 compliance gap assessment
• Certified vendor comparison and qualification guidance
• Asset recovery value estimate and cost benchmarking
• Chain-of-custody and audit documentation review
• Delivered within 7–10 business days, no obligation

Why Independent Advisory Matters

When you ask an ITAD vendor to evaluate your ITAD program, you are asking someone with a financial interest in the outcome. Our analysis is vendor-neutral. We evaluate certified providers across the market and recommend the one that best fits your specific compliance requirements, volume, asset mix, and recovery goals.

There is no charge for this analysis. We are compensated by the vendor we place if you choose to move forward. If you choose to stay with your existing vendor after reviewing our analysis, there is no cost and no obligation.
