Certified Data Destruction for Grand Rapids Government Agencies
Under FISMA 44 U.S.C. § 3554, all federal and state-affiliated agencies must implement NIST-approved data sanitization before disposing of IT equipment containing controlled unclassified information. According to IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, U.S. government data breaches averaged $10.22 million per incident — making certified IT disposal a financial imperative, not just a regulatory one.
When local agencies need certified data destruction, STS implements NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 approved methods — including cryptographic erasure, degaussing, and physical shredding. Our Grand Rapids data destruction services deliver serialized certificates of destruction and chain-of-custody reports matching internal property records, enabling streamlined compliance reporting for city and county oversight bodies.
