NIST 800-88 Rev. 1 Compliance Framework
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 mandates cryptographic erasure or physical destruction as the federal standard for all media containing sensitive data. Financial services compliance officers typically expect PCI DSS compliant destruction procedures under PCI DSS Requirement 9.8.2 — a core component of STS data destruction. STS documentation meets DoD 5220.22-M, HIPAA 45 CFR §164.312, PCI DSS technical safeguard requirements, and Georgia's data breach notification law O.C.G.A. § 10-1-912. Documentation templates and compliance checklists are available in our free IT Asset Disposal Guide for metro organizations.
How does certified data erasure work for metro organizations? STS provides DoD 5220.22-M and NIST 800-88 certified erasure with free pickup throughout metro Atlanta. Drives are secured and transported to STS's 600,000 sq ft R2-certified facility for software-based sanitization with serialized certificate generation meeting audit requirements.
IT directors at regulated enterprises require defensible audit trails for compliance verification under SOX Section 404, GLBA Section 501(b), and PCI DSS Requirement 3.1. Healthcare compliance officers require HIPAA technical safeguards for protected health information throughout metro healthcare facilities under 45 CFR §164.312(a)(2)(iv) encryption and destruction standards.

Is My Data Safe During Drive Sanitization?
HIPAA Security Rule 45 CFR §164.312(d)(2) mandates documented disposal procedures for electronic protected health information. Healthcare compliance officers schedule annual OCR audits requiring Business Associate Agreements and serialized certificates for each disposal event. NIST 800-88 Rev. 1 establishes cryptographic erasure or physical destruction as the federal standard for all media containing sensitive data under FIPS 199 moderate and high impact systems.
Software-based erasure meets federal standards when performed to DoD 5220.22-M and NIST 800-88 specifications. STS guarantees data sanitization in compliance with Georgia requirements under O.C.G.A. § 10-1-912, NIST 800-88 standards, and HIPAA regulations. For drives with physical damage, we provide hard drive shredding meeting NSA/CSS Storage Device Declassification Manual requirements.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about DoD-certified hard drive wiping
What's the difference between DoD 5220.22-M and NIST 800-88?
DoD 5220.22-M uses a 7-pass overwrite pattern, while NIST 800-88 recommends a single cryptographic erase or ATA Secure Erase for modern drives per NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 Clear sanitization method. Both methods are federally approved, and we provide serialized certificates documenting the specific method used for each device under NIST 800-88 verification requirements.
What should I look for when choosing a data erasure provider?
STS holds NAID AAA certification for data destruction, NIST 800-88 data sanitization certification, and maintains HIPAA compliance for healthcare facilities. Our processes meet DoD 5220.22-M standards, R2v3 recycling certification under ISO 14001 environmental management, and all federal requirements for financial services and healthcare data erasure.
Can you wipe drives at our location?
Yes. We offer on-site data erasure services for organizations with large server deployments or security requirements preventing off-site transport. Certified technicians bring mobile wiping stations to your facility for witnessed sanitization meeting NIST SP 800-88 verification protocols.
