Degaussing for Oviedo Offices and Clinics
Degaussing erases data from magnetic media, such as hard disk drives and backup tape, with a strong magnetic field. It does not work on solid state drives. NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 sets out Clear, Purge, and Destroy as the federal sanitization categories, and defers to IEEE 2883 for technique detail.
Under HIPAA, the media disposal safeguards at 45 CFR 164.310(d)(2)(i) and (ii) cover final disposition and media re-use. Every data destruction job includes serial level certificates of destruction, chain of custody documentation, and records that support SOX Section 404, FERPA, FACTA, and GLBA Safeguards Rule audits.
Magnetic Field Erasure
Hard drives and tape exposed to a strong magnetic field that erases stored data
Servo Track Erasure
Degaussing erases the servo tracks a drive needs to operate, leaving it unusable
Serial Level Records
Every drive and tape is logged by serial number before it moves and listed on the certificate
Solid State Routing
Media that cannot be degaussed, such as SSDs, goes to shredding or another approved method
Wiping and Shredding Alternatives
Not every drive needs degaussing. Drives you plan to reuse can be wiped under NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 guidance, and media that must be destroyed outright can be shredded. Our team sorts your inventory by media type and recommends a method for each group.
According to IBM's 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average breach costs $4.88 million. Proper IT asset disposition prevents exposure from improperly disposed hardware.
Verified Overwrite
Overwrite pass with read-back confirmation on every drive headed for reuse
Physical Shredding
Destruction with witness verification available for media that cannot be degaussed
Cryptographic Erasure
Federal sanitization approach for supported devices, with verification reporting
Method on the Certificate

What Oviedo IT teams ask first
IT managers typically expect detailed certificates of destruction for audit reviews, included in every STS service engagement.
Is your data destruction HIPAA compliant?
STS provides HIPAA-compliant data destruction for Oviedo healthcare providers, from small clinics to emergency care sites. Every drive or tape is listed by serial number on a certificate of destruction that supports HIPAA media-disposal audits.
What certifications do you hold?
STS holds RIOS certification, with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 held through the RIOS-integrated management system, plus ISO 27001, SOC 2 and NAID AAA for data destruction. Sanitization meets NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2, and every job closes with serialized certificates of destruction.
What happens to my equipment after pickup?
STS Electronic Recycling logs every Oviedo drive and tape by serial number, seals it, and moves it to processing under chain of custody. Magnetic erasure is recorded on your certificate, and solid state drives, which do not respond to degaussing, are destroyed by another approved method.
Do you provide audit documentation?
Yes. STS Electronic Recycling includes an itemized report and a serialized certificate of destruction on every Oviedo job, listing each drive or tape, the sanitization method, and the date, so auditors and compliance officers get a clear trail from pickup to final processing.

Call (844) 699-2913Degaussing volume scales from one drive to a full closeout
Oviedo clinics and campuses often require pickup outside operating hours, standard for STS engagements with healthcare and education sites. The figures below describe STS as a whole.
A degaussed drive looks untouched, so the paperwork is the proof
Degaussing erases data with a magnetic field and leaves no visible change on the drive. Nothing on the device itself shows that the job was done, which is why every Oviedo job ships with a serial level report.
Serial level tracking closes that gap. Each drive is logged before it leaves your office, and the certificate of destruction ties every serial number to the method used.
