Certified Data Destruction for Clermont Education Organizations
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 defines Clear, Purge, and Destroy as the federal sanitization categories for media containing student and administrative data. STS implements verified overwrite, degaussing, and physical shredding for Clermont schools, with verification documentation for every device processed.
Under FERPA 45 CFR § 99.3, education records include materials "maintained by an educational agency or institution" containing information directly related to a student, a standard extending to data on retired devices. Our Clermont data destruction services include serialized certificates of destruction and chain-of-custody documentation for every education engagement, formatted for district compliance records and audit review.
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 Sanitization
Verified overwrite and cryptographic erasure meeting federal data sanitization standards. Per-device verification reporting is provided for school district FERPA documentation files and board-level audit review.
