Retire CUI-bearing hardware with a chain your IG can audit.
For federal agencies, state and local governments, school districts under state IT, and prime contractors handling CUI. Sanitization method is selected per media type, per CUI category — NIST 800-88 Clear / Purge / Destroy with documented technician attestation aligned to NIST 800-171 §3.8.3.
What government teams need from ITAD.
Not marketing requirements — the ones your compliance office actually reviews when retired hardware leaves the building.
CUI sanitization is non-negotiable
Hardware that touched Controlled Unclassified Information must be sanitized per NIST 800-171 §3.8.3 — and you must prove it before disposition. The proof is per device, not per pallet.
Federal-property accounting
Government property has documented disposition rules; the wrong paperwork can leave a property officer holding the bag. Disposition documents have to speak property-management vocabulary.
Auditable chain of evidence
IG and OIG audits routinely sample IT disposition. The chain has to be auditable end to end — including downstream recyclers, not just the first handoff.
A vendor your compliance file can defend
Vendor review asks who touches your media, under which certifications, audited by whom. The answers have to be third-party-verifiable — not self-declared.
What we run against each need.
Every line below is a verified, third-party-audited capability — no promises that aren’t written at a station on the Dallas floor.

VIG supports your compliance program: third-party-verified process controls, per-serial records, and the sanitization documentation your media-protection controls require. Your program stays yours; ours documents its disposal controls.
