Any organization that is in need of data destruction services needs to make sure it is working with a company that follows nationally recognized standards.
At OceanTech, all of our data destruction and sanitization services are performed in compliance with the NIST Special Publication 800-88 Guidelines for Media Sanitization. That’s a nationally recognized standard that is inarguably the best in the industry, and yet not every data destruction service provider follows it as we do.

Many of our clients also are concerned with adhering to the requirements detailed by the Department of Defense in their DoD 5220.22-M.

While quoting from national standards and procedures won’t win you any points at a dinner party, it is important to understand the value of adhering to the best practices and research that goes into creating these standards. Let’s suffice it to say, “It’s huge.”

What it means to the companies that work with OceanTech is that they can rest assured that their sensitive company information contained on any digital storage media, retired data center servers, and hardware, or PCs remains secure through destruction or erasure and is never compromised.

Security is of utmost concern, and OceanTech ensures security from the first phone call to the last shredded or erased data containing the item. Certificates of Destruction are issued to every client and they are also able to provide extensive data on all makes, models, and serial numbers. They are also able to physically destroy the data containing devices if needed.

With data destruction, standards count. At OceanTech we meet or exceed the highest standards in the industry for electronics recycling and data destruction.
