Unplanned repurchases generate risk.

Most organizations retire viable hardware without a clear strategy for value recovery. Fragmented buyback schemes and unverified resale channels often create security vulnerabilities and inconsistent financial outcomes. The

Dataknox Trade-In Program© replaces these ad-hoc methods with a governed process integrated directly into your IT Asset Disposition workflow.

Not a marketplace

The Trade-In Program© is a governed process integrated into your infrastructure lifecycle.

How organizations benefit

Recover residual value from qualifying equipment without introducing security or compliance risk.

Offset future investments

Apply recovered value as trade-in credit or buyback compensation toward next-generation infrastructure.

How the Trade-In Process Works

The Dataknox Trade-In Program replaces the fragmented nature of traditional hardware resale with a linear, high-integrity workflow. We treat every decommissioned asset as a sensitive data container first and a financial asset second. Our process ensures that by the time value is recovered, your risk has already been eliminated.

Asset Identification & Inventory

Every asset is cataloged and serialized at the point of origin to maintain a definitive chain of custody.

Certified Data Destruction

Data is purged using NIST 800-88 compliant methods. No valuation or testing occurs until your data is irretrievably destroyed.

Technical Appraisal

Our specialists evaluate hardware based on its specific configuration, wear-and-tear, and real-time market liquidity.

Financial Settlement

Approved values are applied as trade-in credits toward new builds, direct buyback compensation, or offsets against future services.
