PV Exec tells E-Scrap Attendees that Compliance is an Opportunity

Privata Vox Principal Advocate Bob Johnson encouraged attendees of E-Scrap’s conference to embrace data protection and privacy regulations as an opportunity to attract clients, improve margins, and deepen existing customer relationships.

Johnson’s comments were made during the October 1st plenary panel discussion “Navigating Security Compliance Challenges in ITAD and ITAM.” Joining the Privata Vox executive on stage were Eric Capps, Director of Compliance at Iron Mountain, Jenny Gift, VP of Member Services at i-SIGMA, and Kyle Marks, founder and CEO of Retire-IT.  It marked Johnson’s 7th appearance at the electronics recycling industry’s longest-running event.

“Certifications are table stakes,” Johnson told the audience, “So, while many worry about the dire consequences of non-compliance, ITAD service providers often overlooks the fact that possessing the expertise to advise clients on their regulatory compliance is one of the only ways to achieve meaningful differentiation.”
