NIST 800-88 Rev. 2 Compliant Software Erasure

STS Electronic Recycling implements this standard for every drive processed for Hillsborough County organizations. IT security managers receive serial-number-specific verification reports satisfying HIPAA, FERPA, and SOX audit requirements without additional internal certification steps.
For Bloomingdale businesses refreshing workstations or decommissioning servers, software-based certified data erasure delivers a cost-effective, fully documented alternative to physical destruction. Drives successfully wiped may qualify for value recovery through our Bloomingdale ITAD services, helping offset disposal costs. Drives that fail verification are automatically escalated to Bloomingdale hard drive shredding at no additional charge.

Hard Drive Wiping FAQ
Key information about our data sanitization services, certifications, and logistics for organizations throughout Hillsborough County and the Bloomingdale area.
What data destruction methods do you use for hard drive wiping?
We apply NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 compliant methods including cryptographic erasure, DoD 5220.22-M seven-pass overwrite, and full-disk verified wipe. Every device receives a pass or fail result, with failed drives automatically escalated to physical shredding at no extra charge.
How do I know the data is truly unrecoverable after wiping?
Each drive receives a verification pass after the wipe cycle using certified software confirming every sector has been overwritten. The IBM 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report notes that physical failures caused nearly 9% of breaches since 2020, making verified media sanitization with documented pass/fail results critical for Hillsborough County organizations managing compliance risk.
