Under HIPAA 45 CFR §164.310(d)(2)(i), covered entities must ensure electronic PHI is rendered irretrievable before media leaves organizational control. Per NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1, media sanitization requires purge-level overwrite or physical destruction — STS provides certified hard drive shredding meeting both standards, including DoD 5220.22-M compliant processing for Malcolm Randall VA Medical Center.
According to IBM's 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report, healthcare data breaches average $9.77 million — the highest of any industry — making certified PHI destruction essential for Gainesville medical device recycling.
