For data bearing assets, equipment is moved from client location to one of our processing facilities using audited logistics providers, truck seals and sealed lock boxes with remote tracking.
SLS uses documented defined processes to make certain all data is destroyed. SLS’ audited processes provide peace of mind, accountability and assurance that your company’s privacy and corporate reputation remain intact when managing your obsolete inventory.

Background checks are done on all new employees and IT security protocols are in place to protect client assets.
