Our Irving data destruction services implement single-pass cryptographic erasure, DoD 5220.22-M three-pass overwrite, and Gutmann 35-pass maximum-security methods with per-device records.

Common Questions

Hard Drive Wiping Irving TX — FAQ

Everything Irving businesses need to know about NIST-certified hard drive wiping, compliance documentation, and scheduling secure pickup service throughout Dallas County.

What is NIST 800-88 hard drive wiping?

NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 is the federal standard for media sanitization, requiring cryptographic erasure or multi-pass overwrite that renders data unrecoverable. STS applies this standard to every hard drive wiped for Irving clients, with per-device verification reporting and a Certificate of Destruction documenting the method used.

What's the difference between hard drive wiping and shredding?

Software wiping (NIST 800-88 erasure) sanitizes the drive while preserving hardware for certified remarketing — generating asset recovery credits for your organization. Physical shredding destroys the device entirely. Both methods meet NIST requirements. STS offers both; our team recommends the appropriate method based on drive type, age, and your compliance requirements. Learn more about Irving hard drive shredding services.
