It is critical for IT companies and departments to understand the different levels of data sanitation. Without a plan addressing old storage media and the data they contain, organizations could face major legal issues when the 'Right to delete data' regime comes into effect. Simply storing old data storage media in a closet is now more dangerous than ever. These devices must be professionally disposed of in a cost-effective manner.

To comply with future privacy and security regulations, companies will need to ensure that digital data and information are permanently destroyed and cannot be recovered by either digital or physical means

So, What is a Certificate of Data Destruction?

Quite simply, a Certificate of Digital Data Destruction is a formal document stating that digital media has been destroyed. it should include detailed information about the method of destruction, a detailed list of IT devices (hard drives, SSD drives, magnetic tape, cell phones, USB drives, arrays, etc.) destroyed to ensure that the data destruction process complied with all relevant security laws, most importantly NIST 800-88 specifications.

Erasure verification.

The software used for the data sanitation process tracks and records every operation from start to finish. Verification and tracking should be included in the reporting and certificate of data destruction, which must contain the following details:

  • Report ID

  • Client name

  • Equipment serial number

  • Equipment brand and model

  • RAM (Memory)

  • Hard Drive Size

  • Model and serial numbers for the Hard drives

  • Disk sanitizing method

  • Number of passes performed

  • Number of bad sectors
