Full ITAD with NIST-compliant data sanitization, AI-assisted documentation, and a client portal. Built for small businesses in Houston and the Brazos Valley that need audit-ready records without Fortune 500 vendor overhead. No long-term contracts. No invoice for the base service.
Strict Controls, Sized for Local Business.
Our data destruction and asset handling protocols meet or exceed NIST 800-88 Rev. 2 requirements, with documented chain of custody, restricted handling, serialized asset records, photo evidence, and verified sanitization results. You get the discipline of enterprise ITAD without bloated vendor overhead baked into the price.
We built our own AI-assisted intake and data destruction software to document every asset and every storage device from pickup through final disposition. When our technician arrives, each piece of equipment is photographed and analyzed on the spot. The system reads the make, model, serial number, visible condition, drive presence, and identifying details from the image and turns that into structured line items for your compliance documents before we leave your building.
The destruction side tracks media type, serial number, sanitization method, PASS result, exceptions, and photo evidence against NIST 800-88 Rev. 2 requirements. Every record is human-reviewed before documents are finalized. The result is a complete asset manifest and destruction record, not paperwork reconstructed from handwritten notes later.
Photo capture at pickup
Exterior, interior, and serial tag photographed on-site for every asset. Drive labels photographed individually.
AI-assisted identification
Computer vision helps extract make, model, serial number, and condition from photos. Every record is reviewed before documents are finalized.
Destruction workflow built in
Media type, sanitization method, PASS result, exception handling, and wipe evidence are tracked against NIST 800-88 Rev. 2 requirements.
Signed before we leave
Asset manifest is reviewed and signed by your authorized rep on-site. Chain of Custody is released after facility receipt.
Documents auto-generated
All five compliance documents are produced automatically from the intake data. No manual data entry, no delays.
Most ITAD vendors are built for enterprise-volume pickups. GTR is built for small businesses: audit-ready data destruction, chain of custody, and responsible recycling at no cost.
Whether you are decommissioning an entire office or just upgrading a handful of remote employee machines, we give you the same responsive local pickup with a complete chain of custody. You are not a rounding error to us. You are our primary partner.
Your Certificate of Data Destruction helps support audit and recordkeeping requirements for the regulations that commonly affect local businesses:
Five deliverables generated automatically for every job. All signed, all documented, all downloadable from your portal in a single ZIP file.
The primary compliance document. Signed, dated, and tied to the job number. Lists every drive processed, the sanitization method used, and the PASS result. Designed to support HIPAA, SOX, PCI-DSS, GLBA, and internal audit recordkeeping.

Inside the document
Includes: Final equipment disposition, reuse or recycling routing, material recovery notes, and downstream processing documentation where applicable. Intake photos and drive PASS photos support the record as verification evidence.
All five documents are stored in your client portal and available for download as a single ZIP file. Intake photos and drive PASS photos are included in the ZIP as verification evidence so each line item can be cross-referenced.
GTR fills the gap for small businesses that need secure ITAD but do not have enterprise volume. We provide pickup, data sanitization, documentation, and processing at no invoice cost for the base service. In exchange, GTR keeps the retired equipment.
We do not charge you for the base service, and we do not pay or split proceeds for the equipment. The exchange is simple: you receive secure processing and audit-ready documentation; we recover value from the hardware.
Every drive is sanitized using NightShift AI proprietary software. A secure device that issues ATA Secure Erase and NVMe Secure Erase commands directly to the drive controller. This is the NIST-recommended Purge method for SSDs, HDDs, and NVMe drives.
GTR uses PURGE by default for all client drives
A note on industry standards: Our workflow meets or exceeds NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 requirements for supported media, with verified data sanitization, chain of custody, access control, serialized asset documentation, photo evidence, and downstream handling records. The certificate, manifest, chain of custody, and photo evidence are organized in your portal for audit support.
Downstream processing: Recycling and downstream material processing are completed through qualified downstream partners. GTR handles intake, documentation, data sanitization, and client reporting. Downstream partners handle material recovery. GTR remains TCEQ Compliant in its handling and reporting practices.
Disposal is only half the story. After secure intake and data sanitization, eligible equipment is tested, graded, and refurbished for resale to fund the base service operations.
Security is never traded for recovery value. Sanitization always happens before any valuation or resale decision is made.
Data destroyed first
Equipment is never routed for refurbishment or resale until all data-bearing media is sanitized or destroyed according to NIST standards.
Responsible downstream handling
Equipment with no resale value is routed to qualified downstream recycling partners for material recovery.
Zero-landfill policy
We take environmental stewardship seriously. Nothing we collect ends up in a landfill.
Get access to your portal, schedule pickups, and download your compliance documents after every job.
