WE TAKE DATA SECURITY SERIOUSLY
SEE OUR INDUSTRY-STANDARD PROCESS
At Memory for Memory, our most important service is data security. All data bearing assets (Hard Drives, Network Switches, Phones, etc) are erased, cleared, or destroyed before they leave our care, custody, and control. Any client identifiable information (asset tags, personal stickers, etc.) are removed from an item before it is certified.
All data destruction methods meet or exceed NIST 800-88 standards, DoD 5200.22-M data sanitization and/or all different standards such as HIPAA/HITECH, Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, FACTA Disposal Rule, Bank Secrecy Act, Patriot Act of 2002, Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act, US Safe Harbor Provisions, FDA Security Regulations, PCI Data Security Standard, and all other various local, state, and federal regulation
Memory for Memory provides a certificate of Recycling and Data Security for each project received from our donors. The certificate verifies that all items are recycled in accordance with all State, Local and Federal Laws, as well as all data and personal information has been removed in accordance with NIST 800-88 and DOD 5220.22M.
