Government-Grade Data Destruction for Cedar Rapids Agencies
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 classifies data sanitization into Clear, Purge, and Destroy categories, with Purge and Destroy required for devices leaving government custody. When Cedar Rapids government agencies need compliant data sanitization, STS implements verified overwrite, degaussing, or physical shredding, providing serial-number-specific Certificates of Destruction for every device processed.
Under FISMA requirements and DoD 5220.22-M media sanitization guidance, government agencies must ensure data on decommissioned devices is rendered irretrievable before disposal.
