🛡️🛡️ Choosing the right data erasure software is a critical part of any secure IT asset disposition (ITAD) strategy. In this clip with Steve Mellings of ADISA, we break down the essential questions you need to ask to align your tools with today’s data destruction standards.
Here’s what you should consider:
1️⃣ Understand your infrastructure – Identify all data-carrying devices, including often-overlooked assets like tape storage.
2️⃣ Define your specs – Move beyond outdated methods like DOD 5220.22-M and embrace modern standards such as IEEE 2883 (2022) and NIST 800-88 purge.
3️⃣ Select certified tools – Choose vendors that meet frameworks like ADISA certification, R2v3, and other ITAD certification standards.
🔑 The goal: Protect sensitive data, ensure regulatory compliance, and support a sustainable, efficient IT asset disposal process.
