@BlanccoTech Important perspective from Blancco.
The Wisetek incident reminds us independent verification is essential.
A question organizations should ask themselves:
“How would you prove nothing is missing if someone asked you to?”

Good article from Paul Gray on cybersecurity and IT asset risk.
We still rely a lot on trust in ITAD...reports, certificates, and other documentation.
The problem is none of it verifies what actually happened.
There’s a big difference between certification and verification.
Certification shows a vendor meets a standard. Verification shows what actually happened.

ITAD Is Broken. Here’s the Framework That Can Save You.
It’s time to make ITAD defensible. Because when regulators come knocking, “we trusted our vendor” is not a strategy.

Allowing one person to control both asset tracking and disposition is like letting the fox guard the henhouse. ISO 27001 makes it clear, segregating duties isn’t optional.

As enterprise buyers adopt zero-trust frameworks and demand ISO 27001/SOC 2-aligned assurance, traditional ITAD certifications risk becoming irrelevant unless reformed.
Is @ITAD_Research right?

The R2 Certification Loophole No One Talks About
A flaw in the R2v3 Standard: certifications apply only to individual facilities, not the company. If a site closes, accountability vanishes.

When a trusted partner walks away from certification, it’s time to ask why.
I was just told by one of my most reliable partners (nearly 500 projects together) that they’re dropping its e-Stewards certification.

Would your ITAD vendor fail a “Man Overboard” drill?
One fake asset. One simple test. Total exposure.
Don’t assume chain of custody—prove it.

@RuneKvist IT asset disposition (ITAD) is becoming a major liability. Morgan Stanley paid $161M in penalties, including a $35M SEC fine for “astonishing” ITAD failures: poor policies, non-compliant processes, no chain of custody, and unqualified vendors. Insurers could help address issues.
Cyberattacks grab headlines, but there’s a quieter, more insidious threat slipping through the cracks. Data theft through ITAD is a wide-open backdoor that adversaries, especially foreign state actors, can exploit with devastating consequences.
Investigations regarding Wisetek Iron Mountain driver theft data breach.
Key questions:
🔍 Did Iron Mountain know about the breach before the acquisition?
🔍 Were all affected clients properly notified?

He stole thousands of computers—and got hired again.
Sensitive data lost. Certifiers silent.
We trust e-Stewards, R2, and NAID AAA to protect us.
When they don't, we’re all at risk.
