Discuss the proper disposal of hardware containing sensitive information.
(34) 
VerifiedCDs,DVDs,and other media containing sensitive data should be shredded,and the hard drives of computers to be disposed of should be wiped-overwritten several times using special disk-wiping or disk-erasing software-before they are sold or recycled.Unlike the data on a drive that has merely been erased or even reformatted (which can still be recovered),data on a properly wiped drive is very difficult or impossible to recover.Wiping is typically viewed as an acceptable precaution for deleting sensitive data (such as Web site passwords and tax returns)from hard drives and other storage media belonging to individuals,as well as for storage media to be reused within an organization.However,before disposing of storage media containing sensitive data,businesses should consider physically destroying the media,such as by shredding or melting the hardware.To help with this process,data destruction services can be used.To ensure that all hardware containing business data is properly disposed of,it is important for all businesses today to develop and implement a policy (often called a media sanitization or data destruction policy)for destroying data that is no longer needed.
