The compliance stakes in healthcare
Healthcare carries some of the strictest data-protection obligations of any sector. Every retired device is a potential breach if it isn't handled correctly.
HIPAA Security Rule
Covered entities must render ePHI on retired media unusable, unreadable, or indecipherable. A factory reset doesn't meet that bar — proper media sanitisation does.
HITECH & breach notification
A discarded device that exposes ePHI can trigger mandatory breach notification and significant penalties. Documented destruction is your defence.
Business Associate Agreement
A vendor handling ePHI-bearing devices is a Business Associate. We sign a BAA and handle your assets under its terms.
Medical device retirement
Imaging workstations and monitoring equipment often store patient data on embedded drives. We identify and sanitise data-bearing media across mixed fleets.
How Refurbion serves healthcare
NIST 800-88 data sanitisation
Every data-bearing device is wiped to NIST 800-88 standards, with physical destruction available for drives that can't be sanitised.
Audit-ready documentation
Serialised certificates of destruction and chain-of-custody records for every asset — the paper trail your HIPAA audits require.
Value recovery for tight budgets
Working devices are remanufactured and resold, and the recovered value comes back to you — offsetting the cost of your next refresh.
EHR-transition fleet refresh
Migrating systems or replacing aging endpoints? We coordinate secure collection and disposition at scale, on your timeline.
