Expanding ITAD to Cybersecurity: IER Now Offers Penetration Testing Services

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:

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.

Industry-Specific Cybersecurity Services

We understand that cybersecurity needs differ across industries. Our services are tailored for sectors like:

Healthcare – Maintain HIPAA compliance, secure patient data, and prevent ransomware threats.
Finance – Meet FFIEC guidelines, secure transactions, and safeguard financial records.
Government & Education – Prevent unauthorized access, protect public information, and secure hybrid environments.
Legal & Professional Services – Ensure confidentiality of sensitive client data and maintain compliance with evolving digital privacy laws.

We use a risk-based approach that adapts to the unique challenges each industry faces—supported by IER’s certified protocols and regulatory knowledge.
