FERPA-Compliant Data Destruction for Student Records
Under FERPA (20 U.S.C. § 1232g), educational institutions must protect student education records from unauthorized disclosure. Any device that stored or accessed student records requires documented data destruction before disposal. STS provides certified destruction that supports FERPA compliance requirements for Brandon-area K-12 schools, Hillsborough Community College, and university programs throughout Hillsborough County.
According to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 guidelines, federal media sanitization requires purge-level overwrite or physical destruction with verification documentation. STS implements cryptographic erasure for solid-state drives and physical shredding for magnetic media, providing a serial-number-specific Certificate of Disposal for every device. NAID AAA certified destruction is available for the highest-sensitivity student data environments requiring witnessed destruction protocols.
