We’re NAID AAA Certified! What That Means for You

By Mike Loria | July 1, 2025

Re-Source Partners is now officially NAID AAA Certified!   As many of our Clients know, we base all of our business decisions and drive our culture based on our “3 Re-Flections” as we call them.  We all ask ourselves daily when we look in the mirror at our “Re-Flection” and affirm that we are Re-Sponsible, Re-Liable and Re-Lentless.  We also look at our business on an annual and long-term basis and ask these same questions.  For a few years now, the question has come up “can we be even more Re-Sponsible about handling data?”   We believe strongly in our processes and through much consideration we determined that our Clients would gain value and our

What Is NAID Certification?

NAID (National Association for Information Destruction) is the global authority for information destruction standards. Their AAA Certification is the gold standard in secure data destruction, awarded only to companies that meet rigorous operational and security protocols, and maintain them through unannounced audits.

This includes:

  • Strict chain-of-custody controls
  • Secure facilities with video surveillance
  • Background-checked, trained personnel
  • Comprehensive data destruction methods that meet or exceed regulatory requirements

Why This Matters for Our Clients

Today’s businesses handle massive volumes of confidential information — customer data, employee records, intellectual property, and more, and that data doesn’t disappear just because a device is no longer in use.

Without proper handling at the end of life, your retired IT assets can pose serious compliance, security, and reputational risks. That’s where our NAID Certification makes a big difference.

Here’s what it means for you:

Peace of mind — You can be confident your data is being destroyed properly, every time
Regulatory compliance — Supports HIPAA, GLBA, FACTA, and other mandates
Risk mitigation — Reduces your exposure to data breaches and legal liability
Proven process — We’re held to the highest industry standards, with third-party verification

A Milestone for Re-Source Partners — And Our Clients

This certification validates what we’ve always believed: responsible IT asset management isn’t optional, it’s essential. It’s not just about recycling old hardware. It’s about ensuring that what’s on those devices is completely and irreversibly destroyed before they ever leave our care.

As CEO, I couldn’t be prouder of our team. Achieving NAID AAA Certification is a major milestone that reflects our long-standing values: security, accountability, and professionalism.

Whether you’re a long-time client or just starting to evaluate your IT asset disposition (ITAD) process, know that with Re-Source Partners, your retired equipment – and the data it holds – is in safe, certified hands.

Let’s talk about how we can help you manage your end-of-life IT assets the right way.
