R2v3 Certificate of Destruction
R2v3 issued documentation covering equipment make, model, serial number, destruction method, date, and witnessing authorization for every Augusta engagement. Formatted for HIPAA, DoD, and SOX audit review.
NAID AAA Certified
NAID AAA certification requires unannounced third-party audits — verifying destruction processes meet NSA/CSS EPL requirements for every media type. Most compliance officers managing Fort Gordon contractor relationships require NAID AAA certified vendors, which is why STS is frequently recommended by Augusta DoD and healthcare procurement teams.

Destruction methods designed to support NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 compliance, covering purge-level and physical destruction for all media types. Documentation identifies the specific sanitization method applied per device, satisfying both federal and healthcare auditor expectations.

Serial-number-specific documentation from initial pickup through final destruction, creating defensible audit records for HIPAA, DoD, and SOX reviews. Every device receives its own record tied to the destruction event, not a batch summary.

Secure data destruction is critical when retiring electronics in Augusta's regulated environment. According to IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average U.S. data breach costs $10.22M, with healthcare breaches reaching $7.42M. Per Blancco Technology Group research, 42% of used hard drives purchased online contain recoverable personal or corporate data — reinforcing why Fort Gordon contractors and Richmond County agencies require witnessed destruction with serial-number-specific certificates.
