NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 Alignment for Daytona Beach Organizations
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 defines Clear, Purge, and Destroy as the three sanitization categories for media containing sensitive information. Purge-level standards accept cryptographic erasure for encrypted storage and physical destruction for hard drives. Daytona State College and regulated Volusia County institutions require Purge or Destroy-level treatment for student and patient record devices—physical destruction through industrial shredding provides the highest assurance.

According to the UN Global E-waste Monitor 2024, only 22.3% of the 62 million tonnes of e-waste generated globally is properly recycled. Most Volusia County organizations require downstream documentation confirming materials reached certified smelters, a standard included in every STS engagement for Daytona Beach businesses.
Hard drive shredding using NSA/CSS EPL-listed industrial equipment renders media unreadable and unrecoverable, meeting Destroy-level requirements under NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2. This exceeds the Purge-level minimum for most regulated environments. For solid-state drives and flash media, STS applies cryptographic erasure followed by physical media destruction where required by organizational policy or applicable regulation.
