What Fish Hawk financial firms ask first
Financial IT Directors at regulated firms typically require serial-level destruction documentation to close SOX 404 internal controls gaps, an element included in every STS service engagement. Below are the questions compliance officers in Hillsborough County ask most.
How do you support SOX and GLBA compliance requirements?
STS provides serial-number-specific certificates of destruction, chain-of-custody reports, and asset inventory manifests that support SOX 404 internal controls documentation and GLBA Safeguards Rule requirements for documented destruction of customer information on decommissioned devices.
Can you provide witnessed destruction for financial compliance events?
Yes. We schedule witnessed destruction sessions where a client representative observes the shredding process. A Certificate of Destruction is issued with the representative's name documented, creating a first-hand compliance record for your files.
What certifications and standards do you maintain?
STS maintains data destruction aligned to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 with HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and DoD 5220.22-M aligned controls, providing serial-level certificates of destruction for every asset processed. Under GLBA 16 CFR Part 314, financial institutions must document customer data disposal; STS delivers chain-of-custody reports, destruction certificates, and asset manifests meeting that standard for every engagement.
What areas around Fish Hawk do you serve?

Enterprise Volume Is the Normal Case, Not the Exception
A single financial office refresh or branch decommission can involve several hundred devices across multiple asset categories. The figures below are STS operating baselines, not peak capacity.
An undocumented device is a finding waiting to happen
Financial services firms in Hillsborough County operate under GLBA Safeguards Rule obligations requiring documented disposal of all customer data. According to IBM's 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average breach costs $4.88 million, and improperly disposed hardware remains a primary exposure vector. The risk is not the disposal itself but the reconciliation gap between an asset register and the destruction certificate.
For any financial advisory or banking office holding client account data, an unreconciled decommissioned device is the audit finding. Hillsborough County Government (7,000+ employees) and financial institutions serving the 15,000-plus military and civilian personnel at MacDill Air Force Base maintain serial-level disposal records specifically to close that gap across every asset category.
When evaluating financial services IT recycling providers, compliance officers at Hillsborough County organizations prioritize documented chain-of-custody, GLBA-compliant destruction records, and witnessed destruction options as baseline requirements, not premium features.
Where Your Equipment Is Processed
STS Electronic Recycling, Inc. is headquartered in Jacksonville, Texas, and has served schools, businesses, healthcare systems, and government agencies across all 50 states since 2011.
Equipment collected in Fish Hawk is staged locally and transported to one of our two R2v3 certified processing facilities in Jacksonville, Texas and Houston, Texas, where all data destruction and material recovery takes place.
Collection, transport and processing are staffed by STS crews rather than subcontracted to a third-party carrier, which is why the chain of custody holds from your dock to the certificate.
