Value recoveryPublished 3 min read
A finance team wanted to know what its retired fleet was worth, asset by asset, rather than as a single line on an invoice.
How the engagement ran
Nothing was touched before its serial number was logged. From there the work followed the same path every Coretek 360 engagement does, scaled to the hardware and the sites involved.
- Pickup from the dock in tracked vehicles, under a documented chain of custody
- Every asset logged by serial number before it was handled
- Drives wiped to NIST 800-88 and verified, or shredded when media could not leave whole
- Equipment with life left tested, refurbished, and resold, with the value itemized
What the organization kept
At the end, the organization received a certificate of data destruction for every drive and a final serialized disposition report recording each asset's make, model, sanitization method, and outcome. That report is what its compliance team keeps for the next audit.
Shredding is performed in house by Coretek 360 and is not yet covered by our R2v3 certificate, which covers data sanitization, test and repair, and the downstream recycling chain. We are actively working to add it.
