NIST 800-88 Secure Data Destruction

NIST 800-88 Secure Data Destruction

NIST 800-88 Secure Data Destruction — Supporting UN SDG 9 and SDG 12

Data security and environmental responsibility are inseparable at EWaste Prime. Our secure data destruction service applies the internationally recognised NIST Special Publication 800-88 standard — the benchmark used by governments, militaries, and enterprises worldwide for the sanitisation of data-bearing devices.

UN SDG Alignment: SDG 9 — Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure (Target 9.4). SDG 12 — Responsible Consumption and Production (Target 12.4).

Software-Based Erasure (NIST 800-88 Purge): Applied to functional hard drives and SSDs. Multi-pass overwriting verified by certified software. Full audit log generated per device.

Physical Destruction (NIST 800-88 Destroy): Industrial shredding reduces storage devices to particles that cannot be reconstructed. Required for government, financial, healthcare, and classified data environments.

Every engagement produces:
— Device-level destruction report (make, model, serial number, method)
— Signed Certificate of Destruction (CoD)
— Chain-of-custody documentation
— ESG-ready compliance summary

Regulatory Frameworks Supported: ISO 27001, Bangladesh Data Protection requirements, GDPR-aligned processing, corporate audit and ESG reporting.
