How to Properly Decommission IT Equipment

When a business closes a location, moves, or upgrades its equipment, there's one task that often gets overlooked until the last minute: what happens to all the old computers, servers, and network gear.

Why You Can't Just Toss It

Old equipment often still has sensitive business data on it: customer information, financial records, passwords. Simply throwing it away or donating it without properly wiping it first can create a real security risk.

What Proper Decommissioning Involves

Securely erasing all data from hard drives and devices, safely disconnecting and removing equipment without disrupting anything still in use, and responsibly recycling or disposing of the hardware.
