NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 Compliant Software Erasure
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 defines the federal media sanitization standard, requiring Purge-level overwrite for storage devices containing sensitive or regulated data. STS Electronic Recycling implements software-based erasure meeting this Purge standard, rendering data irretrievable under laboratory forensic conditions. Every drive receives a post-wipe verification pass confirming successful sanitization before the Certificate of Destruction is issued to Ocoee clients.
Businesses seeking hard drive shredding in Ocoee can also upgrade to physical destruction for drives that cannot be wiped due to firmware lock, physical damage, or policy requiring destruction rather than reuse. Both paths deliver a serialized Certificate of Destruction suitable for HIPAA, SOX, and GLBA audit requirements.
DoD 5220.22-M Overwrite
Department of Defense standard multi-pass overwrite method for government and regulated industry clients requiring maximum sanitization documentation.
Cryptographic Erasure
AES encryption key destruction renders self-encrypting drives unreadable without physical damage, preserving device condition for certified remarketing.
Verification Read Pass
Post-wipe verification confirms every sector has been overwritten before the device is released, with results logged per serial number in the audit report.
Resale-Ready Output
Wiped drives are staged for certified remarketing, offsetting disposal costs with asset recovery credits for organizations managing volume IT refreshes.
