Talk Is Cheap
The Era of Unverified ITAD Is Over
Every ITAD provider claims their process is secure.
None can prove it—without independent verification.
Claims don’t equal compliance.
Only verification proves compliance.
Why Verification Matters
Trust is a Risk
A driver for Wisetek sold thousands of stolen computers for 13 months because verification wasn’t in place. Morgan Stanley paid $200M in fines and penalties because it assumed assets were secure.
Certifications Aren't Enough
NAID, e-Stewards, and R2 offer annual audits—snapshots in time. Veridy Verification ensures continuous compliance, aligning with ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, and Zero Trust principles, every single day.
Continuous Assurance
Verification is certification in action. Trust-based ITAD isn’t compliant. Veridy verifies every ITAD step, providing accountability and drastically reducing risks throughout the entire lifecycle.
Certifications prove capability.
They’re like a driver’s license—showing you can drive safely.
Verification proves compliance.
It’s like a dashboard camera—proving you are driving safely every day.
Compliance isn’t what you say happened.
It’s what you can prove happened.
Compliance Requires Verification
Verification Needs a Referee
Vendors often act as both player and scorekeeper in IT asset disposition (ITAD), leaving you exposed to errors, gaps, or misconduct.
Veridy is the referee. We don’t play the game—we make sure every scorecard matches and nobody cheats.
Independent verification keeps every handoff, record, and report accurate and consistent. That’s how Veridy delivers the transparency regulators expect—and the protection your organization needs.
Verification isn’t just helpful. It’s how you prove compliance.
Verified vs Unverified ITAD
Claims don’t survive audits.
Verified facts do.
Choose compliance confidence over costly risks
ITAD Approach
Verified ITAD
Unverified
Up to 100% of assets accounted for with independent verification
Assets can go missing without detection or accountability
Independent, objective verification eliminates subjectivity
Relies entirely on vendor's unverified self-reporting
Standardized, repeatable, and reliable results every time
Inconsistent outcomes that vary by vendor, process, or employee
Exceeds auditor expectations and aligns with regulatory standards
Compliance gaps may result in audit findings, fines, or penalties
Vendors held accountable with documented proof, not just promises
No independent oversight; entirely trust-based relationships
Clear, verifiable records that delight auditors and expedite reviews
Documentation may be incomplete, subjective, or insufficient
Minimizes legal, financial, and security risks through verification
Higher exposure to fraud, asset loss, and non-compliance issues
Proof replaces doubt with no room for disputes or uncertainty
Decisions based on vendor assurances and blind trust

The IVF ensures rigorous chain-of-custody verification through three core controls: no sharing of serial numbers with downstream vendors, verification tag tracking, and equipment verification holds.
