Is My Data Safe During San Diego Laptop Recycling?
Under HIPAA 45 CFR §164.312 requirements, electronic protected health information on disposed devices must be rendered irretrievable. Per NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 guidelines, media sanitization requires verification of purge-level overwrite or physical destruction, and STS provides certified destruction meeting both standards for San Diego healthcare and enterprise clients.
