HIPAA - regulated health data requires physical destruction of retired hard drives. Usually this is done in sight of a video camera. The operator shows the drive's serial number to the camera and then drops it into the grinder.

CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) can require proof of destruction. That video does it.
