As the Morgan Stanley breach has shown, data security should consistently rank as the top risk to manage when disposing of technology assets. Highly regulated industries, such as healthcare, banking, finance, insurance and technology, often seek partners with best practices to abate these threats. To meet these criteria, Cascade is one of a few solution providers across the country to adopt the rigorous series of standards known as NAID AAA Certification.

Cascade’s solution provides comprehensive coverage for full chain-of-custody and final destruction of data.
