FISMA-Compliant Data Destruction for Government Agencies

When San Diego government agencies need to dispose of IT equipment containing sensitive or controlled unclassified information, FISMA mandates specific media sanitization standards. Our San Diego data destruction services meet NIST 800-88 requirements for civilian agencies and DoD disposal protocols for defense operations throughout the region.

Per R2v3:2020 certification standards, downstream tracking must document materials through final processing at certified smelters—included in every STS engagement. IBM's 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report places the average breach at $4.88 million; certified government IT asset disposal eliminates this exposure for San Diego agencies.
