Introduction
At IER ITAD Electronics Recycling, security has always been a top priority. From certified data destruction to environmentally responsible recycling, we help businesses protect sensitive information and reduce risk. Now, we’re taking that protection even further.
IER is proud to announce the addition of penetration testing and cybersecurity services to our lineup. These offerings are delivered by our trusted partner but performed under IER’s certifications, regulatory standards, and quality assurance—meaning your business stays secure and compliant without the hassle of managing multiple vendors.
Why Cybersecurity Services Matter in Today’s Landscape
As cyber threats continue to evolve, so do the expectations placed on businesses. Data breaches, ransomware, and compliance violations are no longer isolated events—they’re constant threats. Most companies focus on network security and endpoint protection, but many overlook what happens to data stored on aging, retired, or underused assets.
That’s where our expanded service model steps in. By combining certified IT asset disposition (ITAD) with penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and cybersecurity audits, IER now provides full-spectrum data risk management for your entire asset lifecycle.
What is Penetration Testing—and Why Your Business Needs It
Penetration testing (or “pen testing”) is a simulated cyberattack designed to identify vulnerabilities in your network, applications, and systems. Think of it as a controlled stress test. Certified professionals attempt to breach your defenses, revealing weak points before real hackers can exploit them.
Our pen testing services include:
- Internal & external threat simulation
- Detailed vulnerability reporting with risk scores
- Remediation guidance and consultation
- Audit documentation for compliance
Whether your business operates in healthcare, finance, education, government, or retail, this level of insight is essential for building cyber resilience.
A Seamless, Certified Solution Under the IER Umbrella
While the technical work is executed by our partner, all services are managed, delivered, and documented under IER’s regulatory framework. That includes:
- R2 Certification
- HIPAA-compliant data handling
- Environmental compliance through the EPA
- Cybersecurity controls aligned with ISO standards
Our clients don’t need to worry about juggling multiple contracts or standards—we ensure full chain-of-custody, secure documentation, and regulatory alignment throughout the process.
How This Expansion Enhances Your ITAD Strategy
Traditional ITAD already helps businesses reduce risk by:
- Sanitizing or destroying sensitive data
- Preventing unauthorized access to decommissioned devices
- Supporting sustainability goals through e-waste recycling
Now, by adding cybersecurity services, IER helps you:
- Identify system vulnerabilities before attackers do
- Validate your security posture for compliance audits
- Strengthen cyber insurance readiness
- Build a culture of security across all IT operations
This integration creates a more proactive, preventive strategy for managing data and protecting your organization’s digital perimeter.
