Banking & Financial Services ITAD

Banks, credit unions, investment firms, and other financial institutions handle highly sensitive customer data, transaction records, and proprietary information that must remain protected throughout the IT asset disposal process. Green Earth provides secure IT asset disposition and electronics recycling services with data destruction, chain-of-custody documentation, and customizable reporting to help support GLBA, SOX, PCI DSS, and applicable SEC compliance requirements while reducing the risk of data exposure, regulatory issues, and reputational damage.
Banking & Financial Services ITAD

Meet Every Regulatory Standard

Financial institutions must navigate multiple layers of regulatory and security requirements when retiring technology assets.
GLBA

GLBA

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act

Financial institutions are required to safeguard nonpublic customer information, including during disposal. Green Earth provides secure data destruction and documented processes that help support your organization’s information security and disposal requirements.
SOX

SOX

Sarbanes-Oxley Act

Financial organizations must follow applicable record retention requirements and protect records from improper alteration or destruction. Green Earth can coordinate technology disposal with your established retention policies and provide documentation confirming the destruction of data-bearing equipment.
PCI-DSS

PCI-DSS

Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard

PCI DSS requires organizations to limit stored account data to what is necessary and securely delete or render it unrecoverable when it is no longer needed. Our documented data destruction services help financial institutions securely retire devices that may contain payment card information.
FACTA

FACTA

Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act

FACTA’s Disposal Rule requires covered organizations to take reasonable measures to protect consumer report information from unauthorized access or use during disposal. Green Earth provides secure destruction of data-bearing devices with documentation to support responsible information disposal practices.
SEC 17a-4

SEC 17a-4

Securities and Exchange Commission

Broker-dealers are subject to specific requirements governing the preservation and retention of business records. Green Earth can coordinate IT asset disposition with established retention schedules and provide documentation supporting the secure disposal of equipment once applicable retention obligations have been satisfied.
State Privacy Laws

State Privacy Laws

CCPA, NYDFS, and Other State Requirements

Organizations operating across multiple states may be subject to different privacy, cybersecurity, and data protection requirements. Green Earth’s secure data destruction processes and customizable documentation help financial institutions maintain greater consistency and accountability when retiring technology across multiple locations.

Risk Prevention at Every Stage

A single data breach can lead to regulatory penalties, legal exposure, financial losses, and lasting damage to customer trust. Green Earth helps financial institutions reduce risk throughout the IT asset disposition process with secure data destruction, documented chain-of-custody procedures, controlled asset handling, and responsible electronics recycling designed to protect sensitive information from pickup through final disposition.
Without Proper ITAD

Without Proper ITAD

Data Breach Exposure

Data Breach Exposure

Retired equipment may still contain customer account information, Social Security numbers, transaction histories, and confidential internal data. If those devices are not properly sanitized or destroyed, sensitive information can remain recoverable.
Regulatory Penalties

Regulatory Penalties

Improper handling or disposal of sensitive financial data can create compliance issues under GLBA, PCI DSS, state privacy laws, and other applicable requirements, potentially resulting in investigations, penalties, or additional oversight.
Reputational Damage

Reputational Damage

A data breach involving improperly disposed technology can undermine customer confidence and damage the reputation of an organization built on security and trust.

Documented data destruction and responsible recycling practices demonstrate a commitment to protecting sensitive information while helping financial institutions maintain accountability throughout the disposition process.

Unbroken Chain of Custody

Every asset is tracked and documented throughout the disposition process, giving financial institutions greater visibility and accountability from pickup through final destruction, reuse, or recycling.
  1. Secure Pickup

    Green Earth vehicles and background-checked team members collect equipment directly from your location, with chain-of-custody documentation beginning at the time of pickup.
