e-Cycle Launching Campaign To Promote Responsible Mobile Reuse

Maspeth, NY 718-416-1656


In response to recent research reports revealing startling discoveries regarding the failure to protect sensitive mobile data, e-Cycle Founder and CEO Christopher Irion announced the launch of a campaign encouraging businesses and organizations to implement responsible mobile reuse and recycling as a key component of their mobile security strategies (sfgate.com).

According to Irion, mobile data security has never been more critical for businesses, regardless of how big or small they are, or what industry they are in. Many businesses do not consider secure mobile reuse and recycling.

“The legal and financial ramifications of sensitive data ending up in the wrong hands are staggering,” Irion said. “Of greater concern are the many organizations that do attempt to put safeguards in place but actually fail to retire their devices in a secure way. We want to raise awareness to the fact that responsible mobile reuse and recycling must be a critical component of any mobile data security plan.”

The new campaign will focus on educations companies about the benefits of mobile security. Some of the elements of the campaign are below:
  • Media outreach, email campaigns, expert advice articles and public speaking events at industry functions.
  • Recommendations on how to build a secure mobile recycling strategy.
  • Benefits of using R2 certified companies
How to maintain data protection by avoiding companies that resell devices on websites such as eBay, reviewing hiring practices and facility security of partners and carefully reading the terms and conditions in regards to data deletion policies of partners.

e-Cycle’s campaign comes at a critical time as a recent study showed that only 39 percent of some 4,000 organizations has these security controls in place.
