CHICAGO, IL — (Marketwire) — 01/24/12 — Green Delete (), the premier IT service provider offering within an organization-s secure environment, announces it is the first company to receive international certification for true on-site data sanitization through the AAA Certification of Sanitization Operations from the (NAID), the international non-profit trade association of the secure destruction industry.
Additionally, Green Delete-s Chief Technology Officer, Greg Reuter and Senior Project Manager, Avery Sullivan are among approximately 100 people worldwide who have earned the accreditation. Reuter-s and Sullivan-s CSDS certification, along with the company-s new AAA certification means Green Delete technicians follow the highest international standards when they go their customers- secure physical environments.
“The security of the data is what is most important,” said Reuter. “The concept of addressing data where it resides seems simple enough, yet most solutions on the market today fail to make it easy on the customer or the firm providing information technology asset distribution () services,” said Reuter.
“Current data destruction solutions require data to be moved offsite creating an increased risk in chain of custody, such as theft or a data breach. Green Delete-s unique service changes the model and benefits both the customer and the ITAD provider by focusing on data security, speed of eradication, and minimal impact inside the customer-s secure environment,” added Reuter.
“The certification validates the security of Green Delete-s processes,” according to NAID CEO Bob Johnson. “It also means Green Delete customers automatically comply with data protection regulations requiring due diligence in vendor selection as well as conducting ongoing audits.”
Johnson also praised Green Delete for lending its expertise to help NAID create the new on-site certification standards, which benefit the entire worldwide industry.
“We were lucky to have had a firm with the integrity and dedication of Green Delete help us develop those standards for on-site computer sanitization. Again, we see that quality service providers realize they owe their clients such reassurances.”
