NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 Compliance for Boston Organizations

Under NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1, media sanitization requires cryptographic erasure or physical destruction as the federal standard for all media containing sensitive data. Our R2v3 certification guarantees responsible material handling with documented chain-of-custody for every Boston-area engagement. Boston hard drive shredding and certified data wiping services meet DoD 5220.22-M, HIPAA 45 CFR §164.312, and GLBA Safeguards Rule requirements applicable to Boston's financial, healthcare, and legal sectors.

IT directors at State Street Corporation (5,600 Boston employees) and Wellington Management (2,658 Boston employees) require SOX-compliant destruction with documented chain-of-custody for decommissioned financial-sector hardware. Under Massachusetts 201 CMR 17.00, businesses handling personal information must maintain documented disposal procedures. STS satisfies this requirement through NIST 800-88 compliant sanitization and audit-ready certificates of destruction from our 600,000 sq ft R2v3 certified facility.

Boston University and Northeastern University (3,564 employees) represent the city's consistent academic hardware turnover from lab refreshes and student device programs. The EPA estimates 2.7 million tons of e-waste reach U.S. landfills annually. R2v3 certified processing diverts this material to responsible downstream processors. STS provides Boston certificate of destruction services with FERPA-compliant data destruction for Boston's 70-plus educational institutions.
