t Jessica Dapelo Enterprises, INC, we are specialists in managing third-party risk with a deep focus on addressing the challenges associated with asset disposal. Third-party relationships often introduce unique risks, especially when it comes to the decommissioning and disposal of sensitive assets. Our expertise lies in identifying potential vulnerabilities and ensuring that third-party vendors handle asset disposals in compliance with regulatory standards.

We implement third-party risk management frameworks that include strict oversight of vendors during asset disposal processes, ensuring that data security and compliance are maintained throughout. Our approach includes evaluating third-party disposal practices, assigning responsibilities, and mitigating risks to safeguard your organization from potential breaches or non-compliance issues.

By choosing Jessica Dapelo Enterprises, you are partnering with a leader in third-party risk management and secure asset disposal, ensuring that your assets are handled with the utmost care, reducing exposure to threats and regulatory penalties.

Data breaches during IT asset disposal (ITAD) can be catastrophic. For example, Morgan Stanley was fined $100 million after failing to properly oversee a vendor, resulting in sensitive data being exposed on decommissioned hardware. Similarly, HealthReach in Maine exposed the personal information of 100,000 citizens due to inadequate ITAD processes.

At Jessica Dapelo Enterprises, we provide solutions to prevent such incidents. We conduct comprehensive third-party risk assessments, including chain-of-custody audits, vendor certifications review, and asset tracking accuracy. By reviewing internal processes like separation of duties, we ensure that data-bearing devices are properly handled. For example, in a recent project, a financial services company was at risk of a breach after missing 86 hard drives from decommissioned servers. Through our thorough checks, we shredded those drives and averted a major incident.

Our methodology includes:

1. ITAD Vendor Audits: We assess the certifications and capabilities of ITAD vendors, ensuring compliance with security standards like NAID, R2V3, and ISO 9001.

2. Chain of Custody and Reporting: We audit the entire chain of custody for assets, ensuring clear documentation and physical tracking of every item through the disposal process. Missing assets are flagged, and data destruction is monitored and verified.

3. Forensic Analysis: When necessary, we offer optional forensic analysis to ensure complete data sanitization. This includes examining devices like hard drives, SSDs, and mobile equipment to validate that no residual data remains.

By implementing these solutions, Jessica Dapelo Enterprises helps clients avoid the costly financial, legal, and reputational damages that come with data breaches in ITAD. Whether working with healthcare, finance, or government sectors, we ensure a secure, compliant, and risk-free asset disposal process.

In a state of New Jersey audit, it was revealed that 79% of auctioned laptops still contained sensitive data. Our experience and diligence prevent such breaches by thoroughly vetting all assets before disposal. We leverage our extensive knowledge of federal regulations and industry standards to safeguard your organization's data.
