HIPAA 45 CFR 164.312 requires that electronic protected health information on disposed devices be rendered irretrievable through approved sanitization methods.

Our processes are designed to support both standards, with Business Associate Agreement documentation and Certificate of Destruction issuance included for every Rochester healthcare engagement. Organizations seeking NAID AAA certified data destruction receive full audit documentation including device-level destruction records, material weight reports, and downstream tracking certificates meeting OCR review requirements.
