How the Retainagroup system works to protect your organisation

a) Asset Protection
The system massively increases:
•  The difficulty and risk for a thief attempting to re-sell a stolen asset.
•  The ease with which anyone – police or the general public – can establish an
    asset’s rightful owner and thus retrieve lost and stolen property.

The system protects valuable property in three simple steps:
1. Computers, IT equipment and other valuable corporate assets are permanently
    marked with an instantly visible, tamper-proof, unique code and the 24/7 contact
    telephone number of the International Security Register (ISR). This can be
    carried out by providing you with easy to use kits or with our customised service
    for marking and registration.
2. We record details of each item of property on the secure and confidential
    database of the International Security Register.
3. The 24/7 manned ISR contact line (no answer machines or recorded messages)
    provides, via the Global Security Gateway, an all year round immediate
    verification of asset identity and ownership.

b) Asset Management.
In addition to acting as a major theft deterrent, the Retainagroup system also provides a simple but effective asset management tool. Retainagroup can support the control of asset movement and disposal by supplying customised reports detailing such information as the location and value of all registered property.
Ensuring that the ISR is kept up to date reduces the risk of theft still further – companies with a reputation of maintaining strict control of their property are less likely to fall victim to theft.

Computer theft
Unfortunately, with the evolution from desktop PCs to laptops and the movement of high cost IT equipment within organisations, this increase in mobility has brought with it a greater risk of items ‘going missing’.The loss of a computer can be disastrous. It is not just the hardware but very often the hours and hours of irretrievable work and sensitive material that vanishes, and which insurance payouts may not reimburse, that can be a fatal blow to an organisations very existence.
As IT equipment becomes a growing proportion of the assets of businesses, leading insurance companies are increasingly demanding visible marking of computers and other equipment as a condition of continued cover.The Retainagroup range of ultra destruct labels, etching systems and registration with the ISR meets these requirements.
