Certified Data Destruction for Courts and Legal Offices
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 sets out Clear, Purge, and Destroy as the federal sanitization categories for media containing sensitive data, and defers to IEEE 2883 for technique detail. Our data destruction services implement verified overwrite, degaussing, and physical shredding, with verification documentation for every device processed.
For offices handling protected health information in family, probate, or guardianship matters, STS destruction services can support a covered entity's media-disposal and media-reuse procedures under HIPAA, including documented final disposition, serial-level destruction records, chain-of-custody documentation, and BAA coverage.

Secure Processing for Case-Sensitive Equipment
Courts and clerks' offices operate under their own records-retention schedules and increasingly store case and administrative data electronically, a shift tracked by bodies such as the National Center for State Courts, which puts a growing stream of docketing systems, case-management servers, and digital recording equipment into the retirement pipeline every year. This work sits alongside the broader government and public-sector electronics recycling STS does nationwide. Law offices retire comparable volumes of workstations and file servers holding privileged client data, and the stakes are real: the ABA TechReport finds roughly 29% of law firms have experienced a data breach. Our 250,000 sq ft Jacksonville, Texas facility, together with our second facility in Houston, Texas, handles this volume nationwide.
