Why the paperwork matters

An undocumented drive is a finding waiting to happen

Off-site destruction is compliant, and for most volumes it is the right call. But between your loading dock and the processing floor there is a period where custody is documented rather than observed.

For drives holding student records, special education files, or payroll data, some district IT managers will not accept that window. Serial level tracking removes the ambiguity, and it removes the in-house methods that fail federal particle size requirements while feeling secure.
