Resource 1 Responds to ITAD Industry Breach
TelAve News/10868285
with Reaffirmed Commitment to On-Site, NIST-Compliant Data Destruction and NAID AAA Standards
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - TelAve -- A recent and highly publicized data security breach involving IT asset disposition (ITAD) provider Wisetek has sent shockwaves through the data protection community. Thousands of data-bearing devices were reportedly stolen and resold by a former Wisetek employee during retirement jobs for high-security clients, including U.S. government agencies and contractors. The breach has sparked national concern and intensified scrutiny of ITAD certification standards and enforcement.
In response, Resource 1 Tier 3 Data Security has issued a public reaffirmation of its unwavering commitment to NAID AAA Certification, NIST 800-88 compliance, and real-time, on-site destruction protocols that eliminate these risks at their source.

"At Resource 1, we believe that true data protection happens in the field—not just in the policy manual," said Chuck McDonald, President and Founder of Resource 1 Tier 3 Data Security. "Our operational model is designed from the ground up to prevent exactly the kind of failures exposed in the Wisetek case."
The former Wisetek driver involved in the breach pleaded guilty to federal charges earlier this year, admitting to stealing and reselling sensitive equipment under the guise of certified data destruction. Although Wisetek held industry-standard certifications, the breach reveals a critical flaw: certification without oversight is not a guarantee of compliance.
Industry insiders and data security experts are now raising questions about the role of certifying bodies. A petition circulating in the wake of the breach is calling for increased accountability, auditing frequency, and meaningful consequences for certification violations.

"This breach should be a wake-up call for every organization that relies on third-party ITAD providers," said McDonald. "Certifications matter, but they cannot be the only safeguard. You need proven processes and full-chain-of-custody protocols executed on-site and under client supervision."
The breach has already prompted major financial institutions and government contractors to re-evaluate their ITAD vendors, and some are considering a shift toward on-site destruction as a new standard.
Resource 1 has long advocated for on-site data destruction, especially in highly regulated industries like finance, healthcare, and defense. The company operates mobile shredding units capable of reducing hard drives to 20mm x 40mm particulate—meeting or exceeding the NIST 800-88 "Purge and Destroy" standard.
While the industry grapples with the reputational fallout from the Wisetek incident, Resource 1 is using this moment to reinforce its core message: real security is proactive, transparent, and verifiable. https://endoflifeitdestructionandrecycle.com/
