Certified Data Destruction for Business IT Equipment

Under NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2, sanitization is defined as a process "to render access to target data on the media infeasible for a given level of effort," achieved through Clear, Purge, and Destroy categories that defer to IEEE 2883 for technique detail.

Our data destruction services implement verified overwrite, degaussing, and physical shredding, with verification documentation for every device processed, including hard drive destruction for retired storage media.

STS destruction services support a covered entity's media-disposal and media-reuse procedures under HIPAA, with documented final disposition, serial-level destruction records, chain of custody, and BAA coverage available on request. Every engagement includes a serial-number-specific Certificate of Destruction, chain-of-custody documentation, and reporting aligned to SOX Section 404, FERPA, FACTA, and GLBA Safeguards Rule frameworks.

Business IT Asset Liquidation Services

Adoption of NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 among surveyed organizations reached 52% in 2025, up from 34% the year before, while roughly a quarter still report using the retired DoD 5220.22-M method (Sage Sustainable Electronics, 2026 IT Asset Management Benchmarking Report, 12th edition, via Resource Recycling, January 2026).

Item-by-item auditing with serial-number capture supports accurate valuation, and recovery credits can help offset disposal costs through our computer liquidation program.
