FAQs on selling used hardware

How do we ensure that all legal requirements are met?

As a certified data destruction company, we ensure compliance through our three-stage, BSI and GDPR-compliant data erasure process. Every step is meticulously documented for audit purposes.

What security standards apply to data erasure?

Our data erasure process utilizes our proprietary software SAM, which automatically identifies all data without human intervention. Supported by Blancco technology, we ensure comprehensive and secure data destruction in compliance with BSI and GDPR standards.

How is IT disposal documented?

You receive a tamper-proof, digital, and audit-proof data erasure log for each data carrier. The entire erasure process is documented in detail within it. This ensures that all processes are legally compliant and transparent.

What happens to data carriers that are no longer usable?

If data erasure is not possible due to defects, we employ our certified in-house destruction technology. Data carriers are destroyed according to DIN 66399-2 and ISO 21964-2.

How do we ensure a low-bureaucracy process?

We handle the entire process for you — from collection and data erasure to final documentation. Our pre-drafted, legally compliant data processing agreements (DPAs) and digital logging ensure that you don't have to burden yourself with unnecessary effort.

How does bb-net support you in achieving your environmental goals?

Reusing your IT devices extends their lifecycle and conserves resources. For example, extending the use of a refurbished laptop by 4 years saves up to 119.99 kg of resources.*
