Transportation and logistics companies handle vast amounts of sensitive information every day. From fleet management systems and GPS trackers to shipping databases and customer records, data security is critical for keeping supply chains running smoothly and safely. When IT assets and electronic devices reach end-of-life, they must be destroyed properly to prevent breaches, regulatory issues, and operational risks.
While there is no single federal law covering all transportation data, organizations in this sector often fall under Department of Transportation (DOT) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requirements, as well as state privacy laws. These regulations emphasize protecting customer and operational data, including the secure disposal of devices that store it.
