When retiring computers and other equipment care must be given to assure that any information saved on the equipment is securely erased or destroyed. Many devices, not just computers, have hard drives that may have sensitive data. To maintain security, it is extremely important that this data is erased or the hard drive shredded. If you have any questions about data on a device before surplussing, contact the ITS Service Desk.
For items not listed below, contact Asset Management.
