How Does STS Document Hard Drive Wiping Compliance?

Under HIPAA 45 CFR 164.312, electronic PHI on disposed devices must be rendered irretrievable before hardware is retired. STS's secure data destruction process provides per-device sanitization confirmation with documented chain-of-custody. Our certificate of destruction services deliver audit-ready records for OCR inspections and internal FERPA compliance reviews throughout Belle Glade.

Do you provide documentation for every hard drive wiped?

Yes. IT compliance officers evaluating data destruction providers typically prioritize per-device Certificate of Destruction documentation, the audit standard included in every STS engagement. Certificates and chain-of-custody manifests are delivered within 48 hours of processing, formatted for HIPAA, FERPA, and government audit submission.

How does hard drive wiping differ from physical shredding?

Hard drive wiping uses NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 software-based Purge-level erasure to sanitize storage media while preserving hardware for reuse or remarketing. Physical shredding destroys the device entirely and is appropriate when wiping is not technically feasible. The right method depends on media type, device condition, and your organizational compliance requirements. STS evaluates each situation and recommends the appropriate approach.
