Our R2v3 certification ensures downstream tracking through final processing with certified smelter documentation and third-party auditing. NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 mandates cryptographic erasure or physical destruction as the federal standard for all media containing sensitive health information. Houston healthcare ITAD services from STS meet both HIPAA technical safeguard and NIST purge-level requirements for every medical organization we serve.
