We specialize in helping you protect sensitive financial data across your entire technology infrastructure—from high-frequency trading workstations and algorithmic trading platforms to core banking servers, payment processing systems, ATM networks, and the expanding ecosystem of digital banking and fintech applications that store customer financial records, transaction histories, and proprietary trading algorithms.
Our Intelligent Hardware Asset Disposition Services provide multi-regulatory compliance across the financial services landscape.
We understand the impact of requirements based on SEC Rule 17a-4 electronic recordkeeping requirements (6-year retention with WORM compliance for broker-dealers), FINRA cybersecurity oversight standards, PCI-DSS data security protocols for payment card environments, SOX IT general controls and audit trail mandates, and Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) Safeguards Rule customer information protection.
We maintain specialized certifications that demonstrate our capability to handle the dual challenge of sanitizing both customer PII and proprietary financial intelligence—trading strategies, risk models, and competitive market data—while preserving the granular audit trails required for SEC, FINRA, OCC, and Federal Reserve examinations that can extend 7+ years beyond asset retirement.
What truly differentiates Cirkadis in the financial services market is our understanding that ITAD is not merely a compliance checkbox—it’s a strategic opportunity to extract maximum value from high-worth assets while managing extraordinary risk. Trading workstations containing proprietary algorithms can represent $10,000–$50,000+ in remarketing value, yet require sanitization protocols that protect competitive intelligence while enabling secondary market sales.
Core banking systems and payment infrastructure demand PCI-DSS scope reduction strategies that lower ongoing compliance costs. Legacy mainframes and AS/400 systems require specialized decommissioning expertise rarely found in commodity ITAD providers.
