Certified Data Destruction for Detroit Financial Firms
Under NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1, financial institutions must meet federal media sanitization standards to satisfy SOX Section 404 internal controls. STS delivers certified destruction — cryptographic erasure, degaussing, and NSA-listed physical shredding — with serial-number-specific certificates for every device processed.
According to IBM's Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average breach costs $4.88 million — improperly disposed financial media remains a primary exposure vector. Under PCI DSS Requirement 9.8, cardholder data must be rendered unrecoverable when storage media is retired. Detroit financial institutions rely on our QSA-ready destruction certificates for annual compliance audits, with same-week pickup available throughout Wayne County.
