NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 Data Destruction for Shipped Equipment
According to IBM's 2025 Cost of Data Breach Report, the average U.S. data breach costs $10.22 million. Proper IT disposal prevents exposure from improperly discarded hardware. STS applies NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 purge-level data sanitization to every device received through the Augusta remote IT disposal program, with physical shredding for non-erasable media verified to confirmed destruction.
Augusta businesses requiring documented proof of compliant IT disposal can pair mail-in recycling with our Augusta data destruction services, which provide NAID AAA certified hard drive shredding with verified destruction documentation for every device processed.
Under NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2, media sanitization covers three methods: Clear, Purge, and Destroy. STS applies the appropriate method for each media type shipped from Augusta. Organizations needing physical destruction can access our NAID certified data destruction services for full verification documentation.
