Setting a New Standard for Transparency and Trust in IT Asset Disposition Programs

SLS has officially achieved SOC 1 and SOC 2 compliance certifications. This is an important step in strengthening trust and transparency for organizations managing sensitive data through IT asset disposition (ITAD) programs.

These certifications confirm that SLS has strong internal controls in place. SOC 1 focuses on how SLS manages inventory and asset tracking, while SOC 2 verifies the company’s commitment to security, system availability, and confidentiality. For enterprise clients, this means every asset processed by SLS is documented and every step is audit-ready.

Why does this matter? For companies retiring data center equipment or enterprise devices, SOC-certified partners offer:

  • Audit-ready documentation of every asset processed.
  • Verified data destruction aligned with global privacy regulations like General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
  • Operational transparency across the entire chain of custody.
  • Confidence that internal processes are consistently followed across all global SLS facilities.

These achievements demonstrate our accountability in ITAD and secondary asset reuse programs.
