IT Asset Disposal in Dhahran
Dhahran is Aramco's headquarters city — the largest enterprise IT estate in the Kingdom by tonnage, the upstream and downstream OT/IT separation discipline of the world's largest energy operator, and the data centres serving Aramco Digital.

Standards and regulators in scope for Dhahran engagements
Universal: NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1, IEEE 2883-2022, DoD 5220.22-M (where contractually specified), NAID-grade Protocol. Region-specific: NIST 800-88 · KSA PDPL · SAMA · NCA · IEEE 2883-2022 · NAID-grade. BFSI engagements add ; personal-data processing under KSA PDPL. Per-asset Certificate of Destruction is admissible against all simultaneously — one document covers every framework an auditor in Dhahran is likely to ask about.
Why customers choose Maxicom over national vendor panels for Dhahran engagements
Concentration risk reduction is the most-cited reason: a single SOW covering Dhahran plus the rest of Saudi Arabia is operationally simpler than coordinating multiple regional panels. Maxicom's continuous operation since 1996 provides reference depth that newer ITAD entrants cannot match. Per-asset certificate format is regulator-acceptable on first review at every Saudi Arabia regulator we have served. Cross-border resale routing under NDA preserves channel-respect for OEM-partner engagements.

We respond with a written SAR quote in 1 business day — line-item per asset, valid for 30 days on steady-state hardware, 5 business days on AI accelerators. Pickup against signed manifest. Sanitisation in-flight at our Dhahran-area facility for Dhahran engagements; mobile shred deployable to your site for top-classified material.
