Full Disk Encryption & IT Asset Disposition: Protecting Data During the PC Disposal Process

Overview Encryption is a powerful security measure for safeguarding the chain of custody during the PC disposal process. By encrypting a computer hard drive before transferring custody to an external service provider, organizations can protect the integrity of data during and after the asset transfer. Furthermore, encryption can be used to render data irrevocably inaccessible, even in instances where data sanitization is not entirely effective. This White Paper discusses full disk encryption as a technical safeguard for secure PC disposal and data sanitization, examining how and when to use encryption for securing and documenting the chain of custody.
