Certified Data Wiping for Mailed-In Devices
Every mailed-in device undergoes a thorough intake inspection and certified data destruction process upon arrival at our facility. Hard drives and solid-state media are processed using NIST 800-88 compliant sanitization methods, including cryptographic erasure, multi-pass overwrite, and physical shredding for media that fails functional testing. Each device is individually serialized at intake and tracked with a unique record through the full destruction workflow, ensuring nothing is processed without documentation. Removable media such as SSDs, USB drives, and memory cards are handled under the same serialized protocol.
University of Maryland Medical System, with more than 28,000 employees across its Baltimore hospital network, relies on STS for data sanitization meeting HIPAA 45 CFR §164.312 PHI disposal requirements. Compliance officers receive serial-level destruction records for every mailed-in device, formatted for HIPAA audits, SOX Section 404 reviews, and Maryland Personal Information Protection Act filings.
