Choosing the Right ITAD Vendor: A Checklist for IT Procurement
Not all ITAD vendors are equal. This checklist helps IT procurement teams evaluate vendors on the factors that matter most — certifications, data security, and documentation.
Why Vendor Selection Matters
Your ITAD vendor is the last line of defense between your retired IT equipment and a potential data breach. A poor vendor choice can result in data breaches, environmental violations, lost value, and audit failures.
Evaluate vendors on certifications (R2, e-Stewards, NAID), data security practices, insurance coverage, logistics capabilities, and pricing transparency.
