FERPA-Compliant Data Destruction for Baton Rouge Schools
FERPA (20 U.S.C. § 1232g) requires educational institutions to protect student education records — including data stored on disposed devices. According to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 guidelines, media sanitization requires purge-level erasure or physical destruction for devices that once held protected student information. STS implements software-based wiping and certified hard drive shredding with complete verification documentation.
Louisiana State University (54,000+ students), the East Baton Rouge Parish School System (38,000+ students), and Southern University and A&M College manage thousands of devices per annual refresh cycle. Our Baton Rouge data destruction services issue serialized certificates of destruction for every device. Under 34 CFR Part 99, improper device disposal triggers significant regulatory exposure — per IBM's 2024 Cost of Data Breach Report, the average breach costs $4.88 million.
