NIST 800-88 Rev. 1: The Federal Standard for Data Destruction
NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 mandates cryptographic erasure or physical destruction as the minimum standard for all media containing sensitive data. Our Chain of Custody process ensures downstream tracking through final processing with certified smelter documentation and third-party auditing. Every Certificate of Destruction we issue documents the specific destruction method (DoD 5220.22-M overwrite, degaussing, or 1/4-inch particle shredding), technician credentials, device serial numbers, and date of destruction. Wichita ITAD services include CoD documentation as standard on every engagement.
What makes a Certificate of Destruction legally defensible? A compliant CoD must identify each device by serial number, specify the destruction standard applied (NIST 800-88, DoD 5220.22-M), name the certified technician, and bear the certification body's seal. When a compliance review arrives, whether a routine OCR audit, SOX examination, or federal contractor security assessment, the CoD STS issues closes the finding immediately, with no supplemental documentation required.
