What is NIST 800-88 and why does it matter for government?

NIST Special Publication 800-88 provides guidelines for media sanitization—the proper destruction or clearing of data from storage devices. Federal agencies are required to follow NIST 800-88 guidelines, and many state and local governments adopt these standards as well. Our physical destruction methods meet NIST 800-88 requirements for media sanitization.

What government IT equipment do you handle?

We handle all government IT equipment including desktop computers, laptops, servers, networking equipment, mobile devices, storage systems, and backup media. Whether federal, state, or municipal, we provide the same certified destruction process with documentation meeting government audit requirements.

Can you destroy data on-site at government facilities?

Yes, we offer on-site destruction for government agencies. Mobile shredding equipment comes to your facility, allowing government personnel to witness the destruction of hard drives containing sensitive data. This is ideal for classified information or agencies with policies requiring data destruction on premises.

What documentation do government agencies receive?

Government agencies receive comprehensive documentation including: certificates of destruction with serial numbers for all devices, chain of custody records, destruction method documentation referencing NIST 800-88 compliance, asset inventory reports, and our NAID AAA certification credentials. This documentation supports government audits and compliance reviews.

Do you work with federal agencies?

Yes, STS provides data destruction services for federal agencies. Our NAID AAA certification and NIST 800-88 compliant destruction methods meet federal requirements for media sanitization. We provide the documentation federal agencies need for compliance and audit purposes.

How do you handle classified or sensitive government data?

For classified or highly sensitive government data, we recommend on-site destruction where government personnel witness the physical shredding of storage media. Our destruction methods reduce drives to fragments that cannot be reconstructed. For specific classification requirements, contact us to discuss your security protocols.

Do you provide services for state and local government?

Yes, we serve state agencies, county governments, cities, municipalities, school districts, and other public sector entities. The same NAID AAA certified processes and documentation we provide to federal agencies are available to all levels of government.

Can government agencies use cooperative purchasing contracts?

Contact us to discuss procurement options for your agency. We work with government purchasing departments to meet procurement requirements and can provide necessary vendor documentation for qualification processes.

What certifications do you have for government work?

STS maintains NAID AAA certification for data destruction and R2 certification for responsible recycling. NAID AAA requires annual unannounced audits, employee background checks, and documented security protocols. Our destruction methods comply with NIST 800-88 guidelines for media sanitization.
