At TMT First, we believe handling client devices responsibly means more than just expert repair and refurbishment. It means protecting the sensitive data, personal information, and corporate records stored within them. That’s why we’re proud to announce TMT First has been accredited as a Police-Assured Secure Facility (PASF).
What is a Police-Assured Secure Facility?
The PASF accreditation is overseen by the UK police and the National Police Chiefs’ Council. It recognises facilities that meet the highest standards of security, access control, and data handling. These facilities are approved for handling devices that may contain sensitive, confidential, or personal information, ensuring that data is either securely erased or destroyed, and that devices are processed with complete accountability.
At TMT First this means that for services agreed with Police Federations, we now hold both PASF and Police Vetting (NPPV2 Full).
For businesses, schools, charities, and public-sector organisations, this provides additional confidence and peace of mind.
Why this matters for our customers
Every mobile phone, tablet, or laptop carries traces of personal or business-critical information. With cybercrime on the rise and data protection laws becoming stricter, organisations cannot take risks when decommissioning or repairing their devices.
