Retiring Clinic Laptops Under HIPAA: Hospital ITAD Use Case
How a hospital system retired ePHI laptops and imaging workstations under HIPAA: BAA, chain of custody, verified NIST 800-88 wipes, one certificate per drive.
Every retired router and returned customer device still holds something. Coretek 360 collects switches, routers, servers, and customer premises equipment from every site, destroys CPNI to NIST 800-88, and returns the value in the equipment.
Get a quoteNetwork and field equipment is inventoried by site, collected under chain of custody, and sanitized to NIST 800-88, with one report that supports your FCC CPNI safeguards and state privacy laws.
We inventory retired switches, routers, optical transport, OSS and BSS servers, technician laptops, and returned customer premises equipment by site. Every device that stored configurations or customer data is flagged.
Equipment is collected from central offices, field sites, and warehouses in tracked vehicles under documented chain of custody, palletized where volumes call for it.
Storage and configuration data are wiped to NIST 800-88 and verified, or the media is shredded, so customer proprietary network information and network credentials cannot be recovered. Shredding is done in house by Coretek 360. It is not yet covered by our R2v3 certificate, and we are actively working to add it.
Switches, routers, servers, and customer premises equipment with life left in them are tested, refurbished, and resold through our sales channels, with the value returned to you. Everything else goes to R2v3 certified downstream processors, as a RIOS Certified Recycler.
A final report accounts for every device by serial number, with a certificate of data destruction for each drive. It is ready for your security, compliance, and asset management teams and any CPNI review.
Direct answers on the rules you answer to, the hardware we take, and the records you keep.
FCC CPNI safeguards and state privacy laws stay the carrier's responsibility when network hardware is retired. Coretek 360 supports them by making sure storage and configuration data are wiped to NIST 800-88 and verified, or the media is shredded, so customer proprietary network information and network credentials cannot be recovered. Every device is documented by serial number.
Telecom network and field hardware is retired together in one inventory. Coretek 360 takes equipment such as switches, routers, optical transport, OSS and BSS servers, technician laptops, returned customer premises equipment, and more. Everything is inventoried by site, and every device that stored configurations or customer data is flagged for sanitization.
For a CPNI review, Coretek 360 provides two records. The certificate of data destruction per serial number shows the drive serial number, the NIST 800-88 method used, and the date. The serialized asset report shows custody, make and model, sanitization method, and final disposition, resale or recycling, for every asset, ready for your security, compliance, and asset management teams.
Pickups for telecom equipment cover central offices, field sites, and warehouses. Coretek 360 collects from each location in tracked vehicles under documented chain of custody, and loads are palletized where volumes call for it. Equipment with life left in it is tested, refurbished, and resold, with the value returned to you.
Working switches, routers, servers, and optical equipment are tested and resold through our sales channels after their storage is sanitized to NIST 800-88, and the value returned is itemized in your report. Equipment past reuse goes to R2v3 certified downstream processors, so nothing goes to landfill and your team does not have to find a buyer.
Yes. Refreshes are planned in phases around your cutover schedule, so new equipment is in service before the old equipment leaves a central office or site. Coretek 360 collects each phase in tracked vehicles under documented chain of custody and reports it, and the phases roll up into one record for the program.
Our team does. Coretek 360 packs, labels, and palletizes equipment on site, moves it in tracked vehicles, and checks it in at our facility, so your network engineers are not pulling gear onto pallets. Chain of custody is documented from the central office floor to our floor.
Yes. One program can cover every central office, field site, and warehouse, with one schedule and one point of contact for all of them. Pickups serve organizations across the US, and each location gets the same collection, sanitization, and documentation, so your CPNI records stay consistent from one site to the next.

Coretek was founded in 2001, R2 certified in 2013 and renamed Coretek 360 in 2026. What changed in IT asset disposition in 25 years, and why the name changed.

How a bank retired teller workstations and branch servers with every asset documented from dock to disposition, and value returned, before its GLBA exam.

Six steps to recover resale value from retired IT assets: inventory, NIST 800-88 sanitization, valuation, R2v3 partner selection, logistics and settlement.

What NIST 800-88 Rev. 2 requires: clear, purge and destroy defined, what changed in 2025, SSD and cryptographic erase rules, what a certificate must record.
