Data Security at NCS: Ensuring the Highest Standards
Organizations today face unprecedented risks from data breaches. The causes of data breaches are varied, but according to Verizon’s 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR), data breaches resulting from loss or improper disposal of IT assets are on the rise.
Ensuring the secure destruction of sensitive data is critical when IT assets reach the end of their lifecycle. That’s where NCS Global, a Celestica Company, steps in. As a trusted leader in IT asset disposition (ITAD), NCS is committed to maintaining the highest data security standards—providing our clients with peace of mind at every stage of the ITAD process.

NCS combines innovative tools, rigorous compliance standards, and industry-leading certifications to protect sensitive information. Our customers, which include financial institutions, healthcare providers, and technology companies, can rely on our dedication to safeguarding their data.
NCS is meeting today’s standards and proactively preparing for tomorrow’s challenges. In addition to our current e-Steward certification—which guarantees environmentally responsible and secure IT asset management—we are actively pursuing R2 certification to enhance our capabilities further and meet diverse customer needs.
