NIST 800-88 Rev. 1 Compliance for Laptop Recycling
Per NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 guidelines, media sanitization requires verification of purge-level overwrite or physical destruction — the federal standard for all laptop storage media containing sensitive data. Per 40 CFR Part 260, hazardous components including lithium batteries require certified handler processing. Our R2v3 certification ensures downstream tracking through final processing, meeting DoD 5220.22-M and HIPAA 45 CFR §164.312 technical safeguard requirements. Secure data destruction services set the standard for Grand Rapids organizations on the Medical Mile and beyond.
