Secure IT recycling company Vyta has been awarded the highest data security rating from ADISA, the Asset Disposal and Information Security Alliance.
Vyta said the accreditation reflects its commitment to supporting the circular economy while giving businesses the peace of mind that they are adhering to the most stringent data security standards.
The company also said it will enable it to target an additional €1.5m in revenues by the end of its financial year in 2023. In the last financial year ending May 2022, Vyta said its revenues reached €18.2m.
ADISA is the world's certification body for IT asset disposal companies and data sanitisation services.
The new accreditation covers all of Vyta's sites in Dublin, Belfast and Essex, where it sustainably and securely processes and refurbishes retired IT equipment.
Vyta can now perform ADISA-approved collections and services for clients with extremely high security requirements and critically sensitive data. This will enable Vyta to expand its customer base in highly lucrative industries including data centres, pharmaceuticals and life sciences, consultancy, and government including defence and healthcare.
The certification comes on the back of a €1m investment from the company in its physical infrastructure, systems and operational procedures over the last two years.
Giles Ward, COO of Vyta, said the new certification underlines the company's vigilance in data security and destruction and is a testament to the commitment and high standards of the entire team at Vyta.
"We place the utmost importance on safeguarding our clients' data, so receiving this award and knowing that our security standards are among the highest in the world gives us a great deal of satisfaction," Mr Ward said.
"In today's data economy, companies are more conscious than ever of their need to protect client data. By investing in the continual improvement of our processes across all of our sites, we have established ourselves as the highest certified company in the industry," he added.
