220-1102 - Security - Section 2.8

Use common data destruction and disposal methods.

Choose the correct data destruction method for a scenario - physical destruction (drilling, shredding, degaussing, incinerating) versus recycling or repurposing best practices (erasing and wiping, low-level formatting, standard formatting). Apply outsourcing concepts including the use of a third-party vendor and obtaining a certificate of destruction or recycling, and match the method to the sensitivity of the data being disposed of.
