Our specialist staff are able to identify I.T. and telecommunications equipment that has value to the practitioner, 264 Support make a detailed account of inventory equipment and will furnish a realistic resale value analysis.

IT equipment can and often does have sensitive, commercially confidential, personal and private information stored on hard drives and tape medium.

This information must be removed before sale under the Data Protection Act 1998 and Computer Misuse Act 1990.

This is to ensure that data is not allowed to pass from the rightful owner be they in liquidation or otherwise to an unauthorised third party where it might end up in the wrong hands.

You and your company could be liable to prosecution under the Data Protection acts for selling IT equipment with company data or employee files still stored within, not to mention obscene material.
Some of the most common information that is found on “used PC’s and servers is:

  • Virus and malicious software
  • Staff payroll
  • Illegal images
