Mobile On-Site Hard Drive Shredding for Fort Worth
Our NSA/CSS EPL-listed industrial shredders are mounted in GPS-tracked mobile units that come directly to your facility. Hard drives, SSDs, backup tapes, and optical media are shredded to 1/4 inch particle size under NAID AAA standards, with your staff witnessing the certified media destruction in real time.
Organizations like American Airlines (133,000+ employees) and other Fort Worth enterprises depend on on-site mobile destruction to eliminate the transport exposure window — devices never leave your physical control until rendered irretrievable. Most compliance officers require NAID AAA certification and GPS-tracked chain-of-custody — the standard STS maintains across all Tarrant County mobile operations.
Each session includes pre-destruction asset inventory scanning, serialized destruction documentation per 36 CFR Part 1234, and a signed Certificate of Destruction issued before our team departs.

NIST SP 800-88 Compliant Data Wiping
According to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 guidelines, media sanitization requires Purge-level cryptographic erasure or physical destruction for devices containing sensitive data. Our certified technicians deploy enterprise-grade software tools meeting this standard, overwriting each storage sector with DoD 5220.22-M seven-pass methodology and generating device-level verification reports with bad-sector mapping.
This approach allows reusable equipment to retain hardware value while achieving certified data irretrievability — a critical consideration for Fort Worth IT security managers overseeing large-scale device refresh cycles at organizations like Tarrant County College (50,000+ students) and Texas Christian University.
Every wiped device receives a serialized certificate of sanitization traceable to the technician, wipe tool version, and verification report — documentation required for SOX Section 404, GLBA 16 CFR Part 314, and HIPAA 45 CFR §164.312 audits.
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 Purge
Cryptographic erasure meeting the highest federal sanitization standard with block-level verification
DoD 5220.22-M (7-Pass)
Department of Defense overwrite standard for sensitive organizational data
Serialized Verification Reports

Certificate of Destruction for Fort Worth Organizations
A Certificate of Destruction (COD) is legal proof that sensitive data-bearing media has been rendered permanently unreadable. STS Electronic Recycling issues serialized CODs per device — not per batch — providing the asset-level granularity required by HIPAA privacy officers, SOX compliance auditors, and DoD contractors.
Each certificate includes the asset serial number, destruction method, date, technician signature, and our R2v3 certification reference. For Fort Worth certificate of destruction requirements across HIPAA, SOX, and DoD frameworks, STS formats documentation for direct insertion into audit files — included in every engagement at no additional charge.
Certificates are delivered digitally within 24 hours and archived in our secure client portal for the retention periods required under 45 CFR §164.530 and SOX record-keeping rules.
