Security
Inrego has been certified according to ISO 27001 Information security since 2008.
Formatting the hard drives of old computers and sending them for recycling is not enough. The data can be restored. We ensure that your use of IT equipment is handled in the safest way in an unbroken chain of security from the time it leaves the desk or storage until all sensitive information is properly deleted and the equipment is made anonymous. We also ensure the proper treatment in the next step and give you proof that your equipment has been handled and deleted in a proper and safe manner.
Deletion of data on PCs
Firstly the device is re-used by the disk software being deleted using software from Blancco or Ibas. Software deletion means that information on all types of magnetic and some flash-based storage media will be overwritten beyond recognition. The software is certified in both Europe and the US by independent test and evaluation institutions and meets the demands of leading deletion standards on the market today.
Deletion of mobile phones/smartphones
Smartphones store large amounts of data, both on internal and external memories and on the SIM card. The phones often contain highly sensitive data and deleting data on smartphones should therefore be done as carefully as it is for laptops. We ensure that this deletion is correctly executed by using software from Blancco. For devices in which the Blancco software cannot be used, a factory reset is made. Our handling of smartphones applies to models with operating systems from Symbian, Windows Mobile, Blackberry and Android.
Disposing of computers with data that cannot be deleted
Information-bearing devices that cannot be deleted of software are destroyed mechanically at Inrego and are then shipped by supervised transport to recycling partners where they are fragmented in a controlled process.
Security of our handling
Upon arrival at Inrego, the number of safety cabinets is checked against the order. The cabinets are kept locked up until unloading when the serial numbers on the devices are recorded and the devices are ID-marked. The devices can be traced through the entire process to their final destination.
Information-bearing devices such as computers, servers, mobile phones, network equipment, thin clients, disks, external hard drives, CD-ROMs and backup tapes are sorted and placed in the security zone where only specific authorised personnel can come into contact with the equipment. All staff at Inrego are subject to a confidentiality agreement and undergo a security classification equivalent to the requirements for security guards.
Production facilities are alarmed, have security cameras and perimeter protection in accordance with the Swedish Theft Protection Association's highest level of burglary protection - protection class 3
Responsible selling
The process does not end at Inrego. To ensure that your used IT equipment is disposed of properly after Inrego has sold it on, we have developed the program Responsible Handling.

Did you know ...
- Simply reformatting a hard disk can be compared to tearing out the list of contents in a book – the information is still there even though it may be harder to find. Formatting removes the pointers that reveal the location of files and parts of files on your hard disk, but not the file itself.
- Blancco software is certified for use by the US military, which sets the highest security standards in the world.
- Only about 20 companies and organisations are certified for information security in Sweden, including the defence industry, hospitals and security police.
- Demagnetisation makes the disk completely unusable.
