SOX & GLBA Compliant Data Destruction

STS delivers NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 compliant sanitization through cryptographic erasure, DoD 5220.22-M overwrite, degaussing, and physical hard drive shredding.

Under Sarbanes-Oxley Section 802, financial records require controlled retention and certified destruction. Our West Palm Beach data destruction services provide serial-number-tracked certificates of destruction, chain-of-custody documentation, and compliance reports formatted for SOX Section 404, GLBA Safeguards Rule, and SEC Regulation S-P audit requirements. Serving Ocwen Financial, Wells Fargo, and independent RIAs throughout the Palm Beach financial corridor.
