Education

Educational Data Security and Asset Management

Technology is the backbone of any educational facility. Institutions must implement the most innovative equipment in order to remain competitive with other institutions. Systems designed to facilitate the sharing of information, ideas and research sometimes involve the sharing of sensitive data that may pose unique security challenges to institutions. We understand the importance of protecting your sensitive data and are committed to being the single solution to your asset management needs.

Legislative Compliance

Educational institutions are obligated to have preventive security policies in place that protect their diverse user populations. Compliance laws such as ITADA - Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act and FERPA - Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ensure that data such as educational records, credit card or bank account numbers and health records are protected against the vulnerabilities associated with information being exposed to the black market. Sims Recycling Solutions is aware of those risks and are committed to ensuring your data is protected. 

Asset Management

Sims Recycling Solutions can provide your enterprise with the most complete and environmentally responsible solution for all your asset management and sustainability needs. Although there are many electronics recycling companies in operation, very few have the global reach, the knowledge depth, or the broad range of services offered by Sims Recycling Solutions. We strongly believe in investing heavily in systems that ensure the protection of your sensitive information.
