Dear supporters,

I wanted to share a quick update.

For those not on LinkedIn, here’s i-SIGMA's full comment:

"The International Secure Information Governance & Management Association® (i-SIGMA) takes concerns about secure data disposition seriously and values the engagement of stakeholders who share our commitment to accountability and high standards. We recognize the significance of the incidents involving data theft at Wisetek facilities and the interest they have generated in the community.

i-SIGMA’s role remains to assess conformance with certification requirements and to address credible evidence of systemic non-compliance. Consistent with our established procedures, i-SIGMA will formally review this matter to determine whether any additional action or follow-up is appropriate. This review will be conducted impartially, guided by our documented standards and processes, and informed by any verifiable evidence available. Secure data destruction is not achieved through certification alone. It requires disciplined controls, committed management, and engaged clients working together to maintain a transparent, closed-loop chain of custody.

We remain committed to continuous improvement and welcome constructive, evidence-based dialogue to strengthen information governance practices across the industry."

I appreciate i-SIGMA's attention to this matter. 

More to come as we continue pushing for clarity and action.

Thank you again for your support,

Kyle
