Is My Server Data Safe During Ann Arbor Decommissioning?
Under NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 requirements, electronic data on decommissioned servers and storage media must be rendered irretrievable through purge-level sanitization or physical destruction. Current federal guidelines mandate independent verification with documented chain-of-custody records at every disposal stage. STS provides certified server data sanitization across all media types—hard drives, SSDs, NVMe storage, RAID arrays, and flash modules—applying NAID AAA certified destruction methods that exceed DoD 5220.22-M specifications.
Proper server disposal prevents costly breaches. According to IBM's Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024, the average breach costs $4.88 million—improperly decommissioned hardware remains a primary exposure vector. Organizations including University of Michigan (30,000 employees) and the VA Ann Arbor Health System require certified destruction meeting federal standards. STS applies NAID AAA certified data destruction to every drive removed from servers, with physical particle size reduction to one-quarter inch or smaller. Trinity Health Ann Arbor (5,304 employees) and similar institutions depend on this documented chain-of-custody approach to ensure data is irretrievable before equipment leaves the facility.
