NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 Software Data Erasure
Hard drive wiping applies software-based overwrite to render stored data irretrievable without physical destruction. Per NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 guidelines, Clear and Purge-level verification is required for compliant media disposal. STS implements DoD 5220.22-M compliant overwrite protocols alongside ATA Secure Erase, and cryptographic erasure for self-encrypting drives meeting NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 Purge requirements.
According to IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the U.S. average breach cost reached $10.22M. When evaluating data sanitization providers, Hillsborough County IT teams prioritize NAID AAA certification and NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 documentation for defensible audit trails. Certified data erasure for reuse-eligible drives also reduces environmental impact under R2v3 certified processing guidelines.

Method selection depends on drive type, media condition, and your organization's compliance requirements. For media that cannot be wiped, our data destruction services in Brandon include physical destruction options.
Is hard drive wiping as secure as physical shredding?
For functioning media meeting NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 Clear or Purge criteria, software-based storage media sanitization provides equivalent data security to physical shredding, with the benefit that certified drives may qualify for reuse, extending device lifecycle and reducing environmental impact. For physically damaged media or drives failing verification, physical shredding is available as an alternative.
