Our global network of Authorized Partners keeps expanding — and we’re proud to have already welcomed over 60 partners into our program. But what does it really mean to become a Certus Partner? And why are more and more organizations choosing to join? Today, we’re excited to share more about the value of becoming part of the Certus partner network.

A Growing Need for Secure & Compliant Data Erasure

As more organizations require data to be erased—and proof of it provided—before assets leave the working environment at end-of-life, a key question arises: Is the data being erased securely and in compliance with international standards? To ensure that businesses handle confidential data responsibly, Certus developed the Partner Program — a global initiative to educate and empower organizations to deliver certified data erasure services using Certus Erasure solutions.

What Our Partner Program Offers

The Certus Partner Program is built to support a variety of companies, whether you’re offering services, reselling devices, or operating as a nonprofit. We offer three partner types:

• Certus Authorized Partner
  For businesses offering services where secure data erasure is essential — such as ITADs or Managed Service Providers.
  
  
• Certus Authorized Reseller
  For companies reselling IT devices, such as retailers and refurbishers.
  
  
• Certus Authorized Community Partner
  Exclusively for educational institutions and nonprofit charitable organizations.

No matter the type, all partners are required to have at least one Certified Data Erasure Engineer within their company. This ensures every organization in our network meets the highest standards of quality and compliance.

Train Your Team to Become Experts

Our Certified Data Erasure Engineer training equips participants with the skills to securely erase a wide range of devices. From understanding global regulations like NIST SP 800-88 Rev.1 and IEEE 2883:2022, executing proper erasure techniques, to offline and cloud erasure, our training covers it all. Once certified, companies can officially join the Certus Partner Program and become part of our trusted network.

Offer Erasure as a Service

One of the key advantages of becoming a Certus Authorized Partner is the opportunity to offer Erasure as a Service (EaaS). This service meets the growing need for businesses to ensure that data is securely erased before devices leave a working environment, such as when devices change users or reach end of life. As organizations continue to prioritize data security, offering a trusted erasure solution ensures compliance and protects against potential risks.

With Certus, you gain the ability to deliver secure, compliant data erasure with verifiable evidence, providing peace of mind to your clients that their data is fully erased and secure. This service can be performed on-site or remotely, offering tailored solutions for various device types.

• Exclusive pricing through our rebate program
• Marketing & Sales Support to help you attract new customers
• Opportunities to join events, trade fairs, and training sessions
