CITAD

Certified IT Asset Disposition

$2,000.00

*Member pricing available.

The IAITAM Certified IT Asset Disposal (“CITAD”) course is designed to equip individuals with the skills to effectively oversee the process of IT asset disposal within an organization. This course dissects best practices in IT Asset Disposition, ranging from policy management to data security and chain of custody transitions. Attendees whose job roles involve ITAD will gain insights into averting the risks of data loss and public exposure.

By adopting IAITAM’s best practice approach, ITAD processes can shift from being perceived as corporate overhead to becoming profit centers and avenues for risk mitigation in organizations that embrace the CITAD framework.

Today, IT Asset Disposition has evolved beyond mere waste management for organizations. Enterprises now have a multitude of choices for disposing of their assets. Opportunities for cost savings emerge from equipment reuse, software redeployment, and asset resale, which can potentially cover the expenses or even yield a positive cash flow for the ITAD process. However, alongside these potential gains and savings come the inherent risks linked to mishandling of assets, as well as the potential loss or theft resulting from inadequate supervision of the disposal solution.

Throughout the ITAD process, errors can manifest at various stages, exposing organizations to the possibility of fines, penalties, and public reputation damage. By enrolling in the CITAD course, participants can acquire the skills to mitigate the risks associated with improper IT asset disposition. They will gain the ability to discern the most suitable path among the available options for their organization, ensuring a secure and responsible approach to asset disposal.
