IT Disposal Is a Compliance Event
The data-protection rules your business operates under do not stop at the recycling truck. These plain-language guides cover what the major regimes expect when computers, servers, and drives are retired — and the documentation that answers them.
HIPAA & IT Asset Disposal
Healthcare providers, practices, and business associates
PHI follows retired devices into the disposal stream. What the Security Rule expects, and the NIST 800-88 documentation that answers it.
GLBA Safeguards Rule
Lenders, advisors, dealers, tax preparers — the FTC's broad "financial institution"
Customer information must be disposed of securely and not kept forever. What that means when workstations and servers are retired.
FACTA / FTC Disposal Rule
Nearly any employer or landlord that has pulled a consumer report
The disposal obligation most businesses don't know they have — and the one that outlives a company that closes.
Texas Data Disposal Law (Ch. 521)
Every Texas business holding sensitive personal information
Texas requires business records with sensitive personal information to be destroyed or made unreadable at disposal — including the digital ones.
These guides are general information, not legal advice. Your obligations depend on your situation — confirm them with counsel. Our role is the documented-disposal leg: storage media sanitized following NIST 800-88 guidelines, certificates of data sanitization, and serialized manifests that support the procedures your advisors design. We are not third-party R2 or e-Stewards certified, and we say so plainly — what we provide is process and paper you can verify.
One Process Answers All of Them
HIPAA, GLBA, FACTA, and Texas Chapter 521 differ in scope, but they converge on the same disposal expectation: make the data unrecoverable, and keep a record. A pickup that ends with NIST 800-88-aligned sanitization, a certificate, and a manifest satisfies that pattern once — for every regime your advisors map it to.
