Legal Data Destruction Compliance Framework
Our certifications and compliance documentation satisfy the security and disposal requirements facing Brownsville law firms when disposing of client records, consumer financial information, and electronic media containing privileged communications. Each certification applies to its correct scope: Accurate Reporting covers data destruction services, while Chain of Custody covers our electronics recycling and downstream processing operations. These independent standards work together to ensure that both the data destruction and the resulting material processing meet the highest independently audited standards in the industry.
Secure Data Destruction
This certification is awarded through independent third-party audits verifying that data destruction meets strict operational security, employee screening, and destruction verification standards established by the National Association for Information Destruction. Secure data destruction provides Brownsville law firms with the highest level of independently audited assurance for client record and electronic media disposal.
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2
Per NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 guidelines, media sanitization requires verification of purge-level overwrite or physical destruction, both included in every STS engagement. Our destruction that exceeds NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 requirements ensures law firm data is rendered irretrievable at the highest standard recognized by federal agencies and regulatory bodies overseeing legal data security.
FACTA & Legal Compliance
The FACTA Disposal Rule requires businesses possessing consumer information to take reasonable measures against unauthorized access during disposal.
