Our process

1. Asset list

You send a list. A photograph or spreadsheet works.

We respond with a written AED quote in per engagement SLA.

3. Pickup

Priority pickup in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, scheduled across the UAE. Manifest signed at every transfer.

4. Wipe / destruction

NIST 800-88 / IEEE 2883 / physical destruction matched to media and classification.

5. Settlement

In AED, against your purchase order. Audit pack delivered.

Operating record

30 years of continuous operation. Maxicom UAE was established in the UAE in 2001 and has operated continuously across multiple regions ever since through five major economic cycles, two GCC regulatory revisions, the 2008 global financial crisis, the 2020-2022 supply-shock period, and the 2023-2025 AI-hardware boom. Across that span the engagement model has stayed remarkably consistent: per-asset pickup, per-asset sanitisation, per-asset Certificate of Destruction, settlement in your reporting currency against PO. Operations across the UAE; current headcount in the UAE is in the low hundreds.

Compliance posture and the standards we work to

Across UAE engagements, the standards stack is consistent: NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 (the framework auditors default to), IEEE 2883-2022 (the SSD/NVMe sanitisation standard), DoD 5220.22-M where contractually specified, documented chain-of-custody for the operational-discipline layer, plus the UAE's privacy framework: UAE PDPL (Federal Decree-Law 45/2021), DIFC DPL 2020, ADGM DP Regulations 2021 and the Central Bank of UAE Cybersecurity Standards. Every engagement certificate is written to be admissible against all simultaneously — one document covers every framework an auditor is likely to ask about.

What we do not claim

NAID AAA Certification we have not paid for (we operate to documented chain-of-custody — same operational discipline, no annual audit fee). R2v3 / e-Stewards we orchestrate through licensed-recycler partners rather than holding directly. ISO 27001 / ISO 14001 / ISO 45001 we have not been third-party audited against (partner certifications documented per engagement). Awards, rankings or volumes we cannot independently verify. The compliance desk reviews every page on this site against operating reality before publication; what we do not actually do, we do not claim.

How we settle and how we contract

Settlement is in your reporting currency (AED) against your purchase order, line-item per asset, payment terms agreed in the SOW as Maxicom standard. Programme engagements run on multi-year master service agreements with milestone-based settlement and quarterly business reviews. Cross-border engagements (where the asset routes between Maxicom UAE sites) are consolidated to your reporting-currency entity through internal Maxicom inter-company arrangements; the customer-facing transaction is single-currency. AED settlement is the Maxicom standard for United Arab Emirates engagements; the SOW is contracted through Maxicom Global Trading FZE for tax and regulatory clarity.
