HIPAA guidelines are pretty much saying that the only way to be 100% compliant is to completely shred the drives. I would not mess around with stuff like this unless you are **** sure you can destroy them properly.

Yep, that's what I'm trying to figure out. Do you mean the whole hard drive or just the disc/platter part?Originally Posted by AuburnEwaste

I mirror what AuburnEwaste says. The equipment to destroy these drives properly and the insurance coverage required to be handling this data are very costly. It was a big investment for us.
Your potential medical clients may ask you to produce a certificate of insurance showing your secure data coverage and also want to see your procedure for data destruction. You will face similar roadblocks when dealing with banks and other financial clients.
