Our documentation is designed to support DoD 5220.22-M and HIPAA 45 CFR §164.312 technical safeguard requirements. Accurate reporting and chain of custody records back every serial number for Keystone organizations.

Can you handle large-scale ITAD projects?

An undocumented drive is a finding waiting to happen
Most disposal vendors are compliant, and for routine volumes a standard pickup is the right call. The exposure sits in the gap between collection and processing, where custody is recorded but not observed.
For drives holding protected health information, financial records, or student data, that gap is what an auditor asks about first. Serial level records close it, and they also rule out the in-house drill and hammer methods that fail federal particle size requirements while feeling secure.

Where Your Equipment Is Processed
STS Electronic Recycling, Inc. is headquartered in Jacksonville, Texas, and has served schools, businesses, healthcare systems, and government agencies across all 50 states since 2011.
Equipment collected in Keystone is staged locally and transported to one of our two R2v3 certified processing facilities in Jacksonville, Texas and Houston, Texas, where all data destruction and material recovery takes place.
Collection, transport and processing are staffed by STS crews rather than subcontracted to a third-party carrier, which is why the chain of custody holds from your dock to the certificate.
