Which ITAD vendors are NAID AAA certified in Canada?

NAID AAA certification is issued by i-SIGMA (International Secure Information Governance and Management Association) and validates a provider's data destruction and chain-of-custody practices through scheduled and unannounced audits by independent security professionals. Over 1,000 facilities worldwide hold NAID AAA certification.

In the Canadian market, Greentec holds NAID AAA certification at its Cambridge, Ontario facility, alongside SERI R2v3, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 9001. Because NAID membership does not equal NAID AAA certification, organizations should request current certification documentation rather than relying on a vendor's website claims. The certification requires ongoing compliance across 20 different areas of operational and security requirements, and the unannounced audit component means providers must maintain standards continuously rather than preparing for a scheduled review. When verifying a provider's NAID AAA status, confirm both the certification scope (physical destruction, data sanitization, or both) and the specific facility address covered, because certification is issued per facility rather than per company.
