How VIG’s controls map to your obligations
Procurement and compliance teams typically need to attribute VIG’s services back to a named control under their own regime. Here is the crosswalk we hand auditors.
| Framework / regime | What it requires | How VIG addresses it |
|---|---|---|
| HIPAA (healthcare) | PHI media destruction per 45 CFR §164.310(d)(2)(i) | NIST 800-88 sanitization · serialized CoD per device · chain-of-custody from intake to disposition |
| GLBA · SOX (financial services) | Secure disposal of customer financial records; documented internal controls | NIST 800-88 · CoD with R2V3 #274644 attestation · ISO 9001 quality system audited annually |
| FERPA (education) | Destruction of education records as defined in 34 CFR §99 | NIST 800-88 per-device CoD · serial-level inventory tracked in the client portal |
| NIST SP 800-171 · FedRAMP (federal / state / local) | Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) sanitization per 3.8.3 | NIST 800-88 Clear / Purge / Destroy methods · documented technician + media disposition |
| R2V3 §5 (downstream) | Audited chain of all downstream recyclers handling material | R2V3 #274644 — independently audited annually under SERI |
| ISO 14001 · ESG reporting | Environmental management system; landfill-diversion + scope-3 accountability | ISO 14001 registered · per-engagement Sustainability Impact Report (EPA WARM-aligned) |
| ISO 45001 (worker safety) | Documented occupational health & safety management system | ISO 45001 registered · audited dismantling and shred workflows |
This crosswalk summarizes our standard engagement controls. Your environment may require additional attestations; we’ll tailor to your specific control set on request.
