The governance challenge
A High-Value Staff Benefit. Without the Data Liability.
Under POPIA, organisations remain responsible for the personal information held on devices even after they leave the organisation’s premises. A factory reset does not constitute provable data destruction. If an internal auditor asked today for a certificate of destruction for every device passed to staff in the last year — could you produce it? If the answer is not an immediate yes, your organisation has a gap worth closing.
Offering staff the opportunity to purchase retired corporate devices at reduced rates is a genuinely valued employee benefit — but only when done correctly. Devices passed to employees without documented data destruction expose the organisation to POPIA liability, and place the burden of manual device auditing on an already stretched IT team.
JUST ECO structures secure staff buy-back programmes. We implement data wiping to the NIST 800-88 method, issue erasure certificates against serialised devices, manage all logistics from collection through to a dedicated staff-facing buy-back store, and provide transition reporting throughout — with no administrative burden on your IT department.
True IT Asset Disposition is not just about clearing out a storage room or letting staff take old machines home. It requires a validated chain of custody — from on-site barcode scanning at collection through to verified, permanent data erasure and documented final disposition.
Enhanced Employee Value Proposition
Provide an attractive, sustainable fringe benefit via reduced-rate device ownership. Employees access quality, refurbished corporate hardware — a tangible benefit with no additional procurement complexity for your organisation.
Reduced Data Liability
Every device is sanitised to the NIST 800-88 method and recorded in a serialised report with erasure certificates before any staff handover. Evidence for POPIA accountability is maintained throughout.
Zero IT Strain
JUST ECO manages collection, wiping, verification, and transition reporting in full. Your IT team never has to waste hours on manual device auditing, tracking, or staff communication — we handle the entire operational pipeline.
What JUST ECO delivers
Secure. Structured. Fully Managed.
Everything your organisation needs to run a well-governed staff device buy-back programme — from data destruction through to a dedicated staff-facing store.
Data security
NIST 800-88 Data Wipe Per Device
Every device undergoes data sanitisation to the NIST 800-88 method before any staff handover. Sanitisation is applied and verified per device — not batch-level — and recorded in a serialised report with erasure certificates.
- Sanitisation to the NIST 800-88 method, per device
- Serialised report with erasure certificates
- Full chain-of-custody from collection to handover
- Documentation to support POPIA accountability
