Hard Drive Wiping vs Shredding in Milwaukee
Hard drive wiping uses software to erase data following NIST 800-88 standards, allowing drives to be reused or resold. Shredding physically destroys drives. We recommend wiping for functional drives with residual value and shredding for damaged drives or maximum security requirements.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about NIST 800-88 certified hard drive wiping in Milwaukee. Healthcare IT managers typically expect NIST 800-88 verification reports for audit compliance—standard documentation provided with every STS service engagement.
Is your hard drive wiping HIPAA compliant?
Yes. STS provides HIPAA-compliant hard drive wiping for all Wisconsin healthcare facilities. Healthcare compliance officers typically expect detailed certificates of destruction for audit reviews—included in every STS service engagement. Our NIST 800-88 certified processes exceed Department of Defense standards and include complete chain-of-custody documentation and Business Associate Agreements for OCR audit compliance. We serve major healthcare systems including Aurora Health Care, Froedtert Hospital, Ascension Columbia St. Mary's, and Children's Wisconsin throughout Milwaukee.
What's the difference between wiping and shredding?
Hard drive wiping uses NIST 800-88 certified software to overwrite data multiple times, allowing drives to be reused or resold while maintaining complete data security. Hard drive shredding physically destroys drives. We recommend wiping for functional drives with residual value and shredding for damaged drives or situations requiring physical destruction verification. Both meet HIPAA and DoD standards.
How long does hard drive wiping take?
DoD 5220.22-M 3-pass overwrite typically requires 2-4 hours for a 500GB hard drive depending on drive speed. Larger capacity drives require proportionally longer processing times. SSDs can often be sanitized more quickly using manufacturer secure erase commands. We offer expedited processing for time-sensitive projects or urgent compliance requirements for Milwaukee businesses and healthcare facilities.
