SOX and GLBA Compliant Data Destruction for Waco Financial Firms
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) Safeguards Rule under 16 CFR Part 314 requires financial institutions to implement a written information security program that includes secure disposal of customer financial records. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404 imposes additional controls over financial data integrity and audit trail requirements. STS delivers certified ITAD services in Waco that satisfy both frameworks with serialized documentation for every device processed.
Under GLBA 16 CFR Part 314 Safeguards Rule requirements, financial institutions must maintain certified written records for every IT disposal event. McLennan County institutions, including Extraco Banks and area credit unions, require serialized certificates of destruction, chain-of-custody manifests, and downstream tracking reports aligned to FDIC and OCC examiner standards.
