What Electronics Qualify for a Certificate of Destruction?
Every device class receives individually documented destruction records — compliance officers typically request per-device serial tracking for OCR and SOX audit files, standard in every STS engagement

NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 — The Federal CoD Standard
Per NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1, media sanitization must be verified and documented before a destruction certificate can be legally issued. STS meets Purge and Destroy standards — covering cryptographic erasure, degaussing, and physical shredding — with DoD 5220.22-M requirements exceeded by default. Organizations like Lockheed Martin, JPMorgan Chase, and the Dallas-Fort Worth Federal Executive Board (80 federal agency heads) require this documentation level for compliance audits.
What is a Certificate of Destruction for Dallas businesses? A certificate of destruction (CoD) is a legally binding document confirming that electronic media containing sensitive data has been irreversibly destroyed or sanitized to NIST 800-88 standards. STS serves Dallas from our 600,000 sq ft R2v3 certified facility — issuing destruction records that satisfy HIPAA, GLBA, SOX, and FISMA audit requirements.
When Dallas compliance officers evaluate destruction documentation vendors, organizations like Baylor Scott & White Health (49,000 employees) and Tenet Healthcare (HQ in Dallas, 100,000+ employees) require NAID AAA status and R2v3 certification.

Is a Certificate of Destruction Legally Sufficient for Dallas Audits?
Under HIPAA 45 CFR §164.312(d), covered entities must document the sanitization method, date, and device identifier. Per NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1, this constitutes the legally required destruction record. STS documentation satisfies HIPAA, GLBA, SOX, and FISMA with a single standardized package.
Per the UN Global E-Waste Monitor 2024, only 22.3% of e-waste is formally recycled — organizations without verified destruction records face regulatory exposure during breach investigations. IBM's 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report sets the average incident at $4.88 million. STS Electronic Recycling guarantees NIST 800-88 compliant destruction records for Dallas organizations from Texas Health Resources (29,000 employees) to Dallas County agencies — with R2v3 certification and same-day documentation delivery standard in every engagement.

Dallas Certificate of Destruction: Frequently Asked Questions
Everything Dallas compliance officers and IT managers need to know about certificates of destruction
What information is included on a Certificate of Destruction?
Every STS destruction certificate lists device make, model, and serial number; sanitization method (NIST 800-88 Purge or Destroy); verification date and technician credential; and chain-of-custody tracking number. Compliance officers at UT Southwestern Medical Center and JPMorgan Chase use this package to satisfy internal audit requirements and external regulator reviews — archived for a minimum of seven years.
Does a Certificate of Destruction satisfy HIPAA requirements?
Under HIPAA 45 CFR §164.312, covered entities must document the destruction of ePHI media. STS destruction documentation meets HHS OCR audit standards and is accepted by compliance officers at Baylor Scott & White, Tenet Healthcare, and Parkland Health — with Business Associate Agreements included.

Can you provide witnessed destruction with a Certificate of Destruction?
STS offers on-site witnessed destruction at your facility — a designated representative observes shredding or degaussing in real time. Witnessed destruction is standard for defense contractors like Lockheed Martin and agencies served by the Dallas-Fort Worth Federal Executive Board. The resulting destruction record documents the observer's name and confirms destruction at the client's premises, satisfying FISMA and ITAR chain-of-custody requirements.
