Why this template
Most free ITAD policies online are generic, US-centric, or outdated. This one is written specifically for UK and European audit contexts by a vCISO holding CISM, CCISO, AAISM, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor, and ISO 42001 Auditor credentials. Every bracketed field is colour-coded blue for easy customisation. Free to use, no attribution required.
