OCM is awarded Blancco’s Gold ITAD Partner status once more, reaffirming its commitment to top-tier data destruction, sustainability, and IT asset disposition. Having progressed from Silver in 2017 to Gold in subsequent years, this renewed recognition marks a significant milestone in its long-standing partnership with Blancco and underscores OCM’s consistent focus on quality, compliance, and best practice.

As the global leader in certified data erasure, Blancco is trusted by governments, data centres, and enterprises to securely and verifiably wipe sensitive data before devices are reused or recycled. For an ITAD provider, alignment with Blancco demonstrates an auditable, standards-led process that meets frameworks such as NIST 800-88, ISO 27001, ADISA, GDPR, and UK NCSC guidance. By leveraging Blancco’s technology, OCM ensures every data-bearing asset is sanitised, environmentally repurposed, and supported with a complete audit trail.

Gold Partner status signifies consistent excellence in secure data erasure volumes, quality assurance, and sustainability. OCM demonstrates the capability to deliver high volumes of Blancco-certified wipes, maintain rigorous QA, and issue verifiable certificates of sanitisation, while promoting secure, ethical IT asset management. According to Paul Mills, OCM’s Quality Assurance & Compliance Manager, the accolade reflects the strength of OCM’s processes and the trust clients place in the company, providing businesses with confidence in permanent data destruction, regulatory compliance, audit-ready reporting, and alignment with ESG and net zero goals.
