NEWS UPDATE: give IT. get IT. is NAID AAA Certified. "In 2022, when it was time to renew our R2 certification, we decided that our environmental requirements were handled by our downstream recycling partners and that we could better use those resources for our mission of digital inclusion. As part of this decision, we decided to adhere to the original R2 standard practices while searching for a new, data security-focused standard recognized by technology professionals. We found that the NAID AAA standard best matched our practices for maintaining a secure chain of custody for all tech we collect, the extensive data-bearing media screening we perform, and the comprehensive scope of media we consider "sensitive." Our practices go beyond NAID requirements, including shredding RFID cards, USB thumb drives, and SD cards found in digital cameras." (Read on the document below)
