FERPA-Compliant Data Destruction for Educational Records
Under FERPA 20 U.S.C. § 1232g, educational agencies must ensure student personally identifiable information on retired devices is rendered irretrievable before disposal. STS provides certified data destruction in Jacksonville designed to support this requirement, with NAID AAA audited processes and documented chain-of-custody.
According to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 guidelines, media sanitization requires verified purge-level overwrite or physical destruction for complete data erasure. STS applies software-based wipe, degaussing for magnetic media, and physical shredding for each Jacksonville school engagement. Serial-number-specific certificates of destruction are issued for every device processed.
