NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 Software Erasure
Under NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2, the current federal data sanitization standard, software-based erasure qualifies as a compliant Clear or Purge method for drives storing sensitive data. STS Electronic Recycling implements verified multi-pass overwrite protocols producing drive-level verification logs for every device, supporting HIPAA, FISMA, and GLBA audit documentation requirements for Pasco County organizations and Bayonet Point institutional clients.
Certified media sanitization works alongside our broader Bayonet Point electronics recycling services for complete end-of-life IT solutions. When drives cannot be erased due to bad sectors or firmware failure, STS escalates to physical destruction with no chain-of-custody gap. Secure erasure suits organizations refreshing laptops and workstations that carry resale value, returning devices to a clean state for remarketing or redeployment.
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 Clear
Single-pass overwrite meeting the NIST Clear sanitization category for drives exiting controlled environments
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 Purge
Multi-pass overwrite or cryptographic erasure meeting the Purge category for higher-sensitivity storage media
DoD 5220.22-M Seven-Pass
Department of Defense overwrite standard for organizations requiring DOD-level sanitization documentation
Drive-Level Verification Report
Serial number captured, wipe method recorded, and pass/fail status logged for every drive in the batch
Degaussing for Magnetic Media Destruction
Degaussing applies a powerful magnetic field to HDDs and tape media, collapsing binary data domains permanently. NSA-listed degaussers exceed the field strength required for high-coercivity media sanitization, making this method appropriate for end-of-life drives not scheduled for reuse. STS uses NSA-approved equipment calibrated to NSA/CSS EPL specifications, with verified magnetic field output recorded on each destruction certificate for Bayonet Point clients.
Degaussing is often paired with physical shredding for the highest assurance level, and complements our Bayonet Point hard drive shredding services for dual-method destruction documentation. According to Blancco Technology Group research, 42% of used hard drives purchased online contain recoverable data; degaussing eliminates this exposure for end-of-life media. A degauss certificate and destruction manifest are issued for every Bayonet Point batch, recording the degausser model, field strength, and operator sign-off.
NSA/CSS EPL-Listed Equipment
Degaussers appearing on the NSA evaluated products list for verified field strength against classified and sensitive media
HDD and Magnetic Tape
Supports spinning hard drives, LTO tape cartridges, and legacy magnetic storage formats including DLT and DAT
Degauss Certificate Issued
Certificate records media type, quantity, degausser serial number, field strength, and verifying technician for audit records
Escalation to Shredding
Decommissioned drives can be shredded immediately after degaussing for dual-method destruction with a single certificate
Tamper-Evident Reporting and Audit Documentation
When Bayonet Point organizations need audit-ready data destruction documentation, every STS secure erasure engagement produces a complete package formatted for HIPAA, FISMA, GLBA, and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance reviews.
