  Here are 5 key things you need to know about reducing data security risk during asset disposal : 1. Data Deletion Is Not Data Destruction Simply deleting files or formatting a drive doesn’t remove the data— it can often be recovered using basic tools. You must use secure data erasure techniques , such as: DoD 5220.22- M compliant wiping software Cryptographic erasure Physical shredding or degaussing for non- reusable drives 2. Have a Documented Disposal Policy Your organization should have a formal IT asset disposal ( ITAD) policy that includes: Roles and responsibilities Secure transportation procedures Chain of custody documentation Verification and audit trails for every asset 3. Work With Certified ITAD Providers Choose a vendor with certifications like: R2 ( Responsible Recycling) e- Stewards NAID ( National Association for Information Destruction) They ensure environmentally sound practices and secure data destruction. 4.
