NIST 800-88 Rev. 1 & FERPA Compliance
FERPA (20 U.S.C. § 1232g) requires that student education records — including data stored on school-issued devices — be properly protected throughout their lifecycle and rendered irretrievable upon disposal. NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 establishes the federal standard for media sanitization, mandating cryptographic erasure or physical destruction. STS provides serial-number-specific certificates of destruction and downstream tracking documentation meeting both federal education privacy and data security requirements for certificate of destruction compliance audits.
