Computer Recycling USA's Business Risk Assessment Spotlights Exposure to Data Security, Environmental Violations

HOLLISTON, Mass., Sept. 9, 2009 — As federal and state regulations become increasingly stringent, businesses are more concerned than ever about stolen data or potential environmental violations. Thanks to a free ten-question quiz from Computer Recycling USA (http://www.computerrecyclingusa.com), however, companies can now assess their exposure to data security or environmental breaches.

Visitors to ComputerRecyclingUSA.com answer a few simple questions before beginning the risk assessment, which takes about three minutes to complete. Questions focus on proactive and preventative measures to avoid trouble when disposing or selling retired IT assets; topics include auditable chain of custody, proper indemnification and proof of data destruction.

It sounds simple enough, but Computer Recycling USA has found that a whopping 90% of businesses that take the quiz fail. Fortunately, the company provides an answer guide, designed to help respondents better understand how the topics discussed can impact their businesses, upon completion of the quiz.

That information can prove invaluable for many companies. With proprietary asset disposition methods developed over years of providing secure asset recovery and computer recycling services for Fortune 1000 companies, universities and government agencies, Computer Recycling USA is the leading authority on risk management for electronic asset disposition. The company is so confident in its methods, it backs its data security program with a $1 million data security guarantee.

"Computer Recycling USA has worked with enough clients to be able to identify common gaps or oversights that can significantly impact a company's exposure to data security and environmental violations," stated Rocco D'Amico, president of Computer Recycling USA. "We've boiled it down to these ten quick questions that can pinpoint areas of weakness, and companies can use the answer guide to begin to shore up those areas to better comply with current regulations."
