Protecting regulated data at end-of-life. We provide compliant data sanitization, full chain-of-custody documentation, and secure equipment removal for healthcare, insurance, and financial institutions.
From initial assessment through final documentation, we handle every stage of the IT asset lifecycle with full regulatory compliance.
NIST 800-88 compliant data sanitization across all media types. Every drive receives cryptographic erasure and multi-pass overwrite verification with per-device Certificate of Destruction.
Complete serial number logging, asset tag documentation, and make/model identification for every device on-site. Photographic chain-of-custody records from intake through final disposition.
Full physical removal of sanitized IT equipment from your facility. We clear server rooms, workstations, networking infrastructure, and all data-bearing devices — leaving your site clean and compliant.
On-site evaluation of data-bearing devices across your facility. We identify every point of compliance exposure — servers, desktops, copiers, medical devices, portable electronics — and scope the full sanitization effort.
Comprehensive documentation packages ready for HIPAA, GLBA, and PCI DSS audits. Per-device destruction certificates, chain-of-custody logs, and summary reports for your compliance team or legal counsel.
For organizations in receivership, liquidation, or financial distress — we perform full data destruction and equipment removal at no cost to the estate. Compliance resolved, facility cleared, zero expense.
A straightforward, documented process from initial contact through final certification.
On-site walkthrough to inventory all data-bearing devices. We identify every server, workstation, storage array, copier, and portable device in your facility and document the scope of work.
Every device is logged by serial number, asset tag, make, and model. Photographic records establish chain of custody from the moment we take possession through final disposition.
NIST 800-88 compliant data destruction on every data-bearing device. Cryptographic erase, multi-pass overwrite, and verification. Drives that cannot be wiped are physically destroyed.
Per-device Certificate of Destruction delivered with full serial number records, photographic evidence, and summary documentation suitable for HIPAA, GLBA, or PCI DSS audit.
We know — because we built Sentinel to fix it.
Here's what happens at most ITAD vendors:
They show up late — or don't show up at all. They load your equipment onto a truck and disappear. You call for your Certificate of Destruction and get voicemail. Weeks later, you're still waiting. Your compliance officer starts sweating. Nobody can tell you where your drives are or what happened to them.
This isn't rare. It's the norm.
In 2020, Morgan Stanley discovered that their ITAD vendor had resold thousands of servers and hard drives containing unencrypted customer data — including Social Security numbers and financial account information. The equipment was supposed to be wiped and destroyed. Instead, it showed up on the secondary market with data still intact. The result: over $160 million in fines and settlements, regulatory action from the SEC, and a class-action lawsuit. Their vendor had all the right certifications on paper.
That's the gap between credentials and execution. Sentinel exists to close it.
Not a promise to "get to it eventually." You receive serial-number-level destruction documentation within 48 hours of service. Every time.
You'll know when we're en route, when we arrive, when destruction begins, and when it's complete. No black holes.
Every storage device is verified by serial number at pickup and again at destruction. Nothing falls through the cracks.
We confirm arrival by text the morning of service day. You will never be standing in a parking lot wondering if your vendor is coming.
Your equipment stays in the United States. Period. We don't broker to third parties overseas.
Every device is photographed in-situ before we touch it, logged during transit, and documented through final disposition. The paper trail is bulletproof.
We don't have the biggest operation or the fanciest office. What we have is a process that doesn't leave room for the failures that cost Morgan Stanley $160 million — and cost their customers their privacy.
We specialize in data-sensitive industries where improper disposition creates serious regulatory exposure.
Hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and healthcare systems. Patient health records across servers, workstations, medical devices, and imaging systems require certified destruction at end-of-life.
Life, health, property, and casualty insurers. Policyholder data — SSNs, financial accounts, health records, beneficiary information — is regulated across every state of licensure. Liquidations and receiverships require immediate compliance action.
Banks, credit unions, investment firms, and payment processors. Consumer financial data on servers and workstations must be sanitized to federal standards with full documentation for examiner review.
Sentinel Data Solutions provides certified IT asset disposition services for regulated organizations across the Midwest and Eastern United States. We specialize in high-compliance environments where data protection isn't optional — it's the law.
Our focus is distressed and transitioning organizations — facilities in receivership, liquidation, or closure — where unsanitized data-bearing equipment represents immediate regulatory liability. We resolve that exposure quickly, thoroughly, and with complete documentation.
Serial-level tracking with photographic chain of custody from intake through disposition. No device goes unaccounted for.
On-site assessment within 24-48 hours. When data is at risk, speed matters. We mobilize fast and work efficiently.
For organizations in financial distress, we offer full data destruction and removal at no cost to the estate. Compliance resolved, zero expense.
