Why the paperwork matters

An undocumented drive is a finding waiting to happen

Most vendors are compliant, and standard pickup suits routine volumes. The exposure sits between collection and processing, where custody is recorded but not observed.

For drives holding protected health information, financial records, or student data, an auditor asks about that gap first. Serial level records close it and rule out in-house drill and hammer methods that leave no record.
