Laptop Recycling and Refurbishing
Overview
We use SIPI Asset Recovery for devices that need to be recycled/returned. At GitLab Corporate Security’s discretion, laptops may also be sent to an Corporate Security team member for repurposing. Either way, GitLab Corporate Security will provide a shipping label and box upon request at no cost to yourself.
If the Corporate Security department has record of a current litigation hold for the offboarded employee, IT will consult with Legal before proceeding.
All team member laptops must be securely wiped before being returned. This not only protects the company, but also protects you since it is possible for personal information to exist on these machines.
Reformatting a computer is not sufficient in these cases because it is possible for sensitive data to be recovered after reinstalling an operating system.
