A mid-sized healthcare organization approached BBG with concerns about securely disposing of their outdated IT assets. With patient data at risk, the client needed a solution that ensured full compliance with HIPAA regulations while also addressing their environmental sustainability goals.
Challenges: The organization faced the challenge of securely managing end-of-life IT equipment while avoiding data breaches and maintaining compliance. Additionally, they aimed to reduce their environmental impact through responsible recycling.
BBG's Solution: BBG implemented a tailored ITAD process that included on-site data destruction, certified e-waste recycling, and a full audit trail to ensure compliance. We provided secure transportation for the assets, complete with GPS tracking, and certified data destruction, both on-site and at our processing facility.

A growing financial services company was struggling with the mounting costs of storing obsolete IT equipment. They needed a way to securely dispose of these assets while recovering value from any usable components.
Challenges: The company had accumulated a large volume of outdated IT hardware, resulting in high storage costs and an increased risk of data breaches. They wanted to maximize any potential value recovery while ensuring secure data destruction.
BBG's Solution: BBG conducted a detailed assessment of the client's inventory and identified assets that still had market value. We implemented a secure chain-of-custody process for transporting the equipment and performed data sanitization and certified destruction where necessary. Reusable components were refurbished and sold through our resale channels, with profits shared with the client.
Results: The financial services company significantly reduced its storage costs and received a substantial return on its outdated IT equipment. All data was securely destroyed, and the company gained peace of mind knowing that they were fully compliant with industry regulations.

BBG's Solution: BBG developed a nationwide ITAD program that included standardized procedures for all locations. We provided secure collection bins, scheduled regular pickups, and used our certified data destruction processes to ensure all data was wiped or destroyed. Our logistics team coordinated asset collection across the country, streamlining the entire process.
