Security
Not only can security and surveillance systems document acts of theft, violence, or vandalism, but their presence has also been found to generally deter possible threats.
WHY OUTSOURCE?
Many businesses choose to internally deactivate, remove, and repurpose the existing infrastructure. While this may seem to be a cheap alternative, many times this can take more time away from key focuses of the business’s teams. Small businesses, especially, desire their team members to work on the tasks most vital to the business, but often times decommissioning services are time-consuming, laborious, and more confusing than initially realized.
The hidden expenses such as system downtime, data recovery, and potential fines or fees strip a business from pursuing valuable functions. At Mach Wiring, we can free up businesses to focus on the advantageous tasks vital to their business’s success. By equipping our team with the proper tools, training, and materials we allow businesses to focus on the things that matter. From legal compliance to data security and proper disposal, our teams can guarantee a smooth transition that alleviates concerns of non-compliance, security breaches, and environmental impact.
ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
Outdated hardware is commonly removed and disposed of by businesses. Electronic devices contain hazardous materials and can be harmful to the environment if handled improperly. We take steps to provide safe transport of discarded equipment and cabling to facilities that comply with eco-friendly standards.
DATA CONTROL
The security of a new and improved system requires secure removal and/or reuse of previous equipment and the data stored on the devices. When disposing of assets with sensitive data, it is crucial to wipe and clean all data from those devices without compromising company information.
Other devices are often reused at other company sites. This means that the shipping and transportation of the assets needs to be properly managed and protected from physical damage and data intrusion.
Mach Wiring provides the means necessary to both discard devices securely and transport other devices as securely as possible.
REINSTALLATION
Devices and equipment being repurposed elsewhere takes technical expertise and care. Our technicians are trained in a variety of brands, devices, and security measures to ensure a systematic reinstallation process that exceeds industry standards.
