SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): CompuCycle, a leading provider of secure IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) and electronics recycling services, has announced its attainment of the ISO/IEC 27001 certification, a globally recognized benchmark for information security management.
With this milestone, CompuCycle becomes the only woman-owned e-waste processor in Texas to hold the designation, reinforcing its ability to safeguard sensitive client data throughout every stage of the ITAD process.
ISO 27001 sets the standard for managing data confidentiality, integrity, and availability, establishing comprehensive controls to defend against cyber risks and data breaches. For the e-waste sector, the certification is particularly significant, as it includes stringent protocols for secure equipment handling, certified data destruction, and responsible reuse. CompuCycle’s enhanced security framework applies across its facilities and logistics, supported by access-restricted operations and GPS-tracked transportation.
According to President Clive Hess, the certification provides clients with assurance that their retired IT assets are managed with exceptional security rigor. The achievement adds to CompuCycle’s already extensive compliance portfolio, which includes R2v3, e-Stewards, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001.
