NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 Compliant Software Wiping
According to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 guidelines, media sanitization requires purge-level overwrite verification for every device. Every STS engagement as a serialized, per-device Certificate of Destruction. HDDs, SSDs, and NVMe drives each receive the erasure method matched to their storage architecture, with serial-number logged completion confirmed before documentation is issued.
STS Electronic Recycling serves Citrus Park organizations including AdventHealth Carrollwood (~1,000 employees) and Hillsborough County Public Schools (25,000+ employees) requiring certified media sanitization before IT equipment disposal. STS engagements with compliance-driven organizations in Hillsborough County typically include pre-project asset inventory and destruction reports aligned with internal audit schedules. For organizations needing physical irreversibility, our Citrus Park hard drive shredding services provide certified destruction.
Cryptographic Erasure
AES-256 encryption-based erasure meeting NIST 800-88 purge-level requirements with automated verification per device
Multi-Pass Overwrite
DoD 5220.22-M compliant overwrite for HDD storage, verified byte-by-byte on completion with logged pass confirmation
SSD and NVMe Support
Secure erasure for solid-state drives using ATA Secure Erase and manufacturer-verified cryptographic methods for flash media
Serial-Number Verification
Each drive's serial number is captured pre- and post-wipe, with pass/fail status recorded in your serialized audit report
Degaussing and Physical Media Destruction
When drives are too degraded for software wiping, or when compliance requirements demand absolute irreversibility, degaussing and physical shredding provide the highest level of assurance. Degaussing uses high-intensity magnetic fields to permanently destroy the data layer on magnetic HDDs and tape media, rendering recovery impossible. IT security managers choose physical destruction over software-only sanitization when drives have exceeded duty-cycle limits or contain highly regulated data, because combined methods provide defense-in-depth documentation for auditors.
Hillsborough County Government (6,000+ employees) and regulated organizations in the area often require physical destruction as the final step in their data security chain. STS offers witnessed destruction with documented physical processing and chain-of-custody from your location through final disposition. Pair physical destruction with our Citrus Park ITAD services to recover value from functional equipment while securely disposing of storage media.
NSA-Listed Degaussers
High-intensity magnetic erasure for HDDs and magnetic tape using equipment meeting NSA/CSS Evaluated Products guidance
Physical Shredding
Hard drive shredding to 1/4 inch particle size or smaller, with weight documentation and R2v3 certified material recycling
Witnessed Destruction
On-site or facility destruction witnessed by authorized personnel with signed verification documentation on request
Combined Methods
Degauss then shred for maximum assurance on drives containing highly sensitive organizational or regulated data
Audit-Ready Destruction Documentation
Every hard drive wiping engagement produces serialized documentation linking each drive's serial number to its wiping method, pass/fail result, technician ID, and processing date. This per-device reporting satisfies internal compliance review under NIST 800-88 standards for regulated industries.
Certificates of destruction from STS include asset inventory manifests, chain-of-custody records from your northwest Tampa location through final processing, and weight tickets.
