Before disposing IT equipment with sensitive data, what must be performed?

Before disposing IT equipment with sensitive data, you must identify the asset in your inventory and flag it for disposition, then route it through authorized disposal methods. This ensures the data is properly sanitized or destroyed and that the asset is tracked in official records. Following the approved workflow protects against data breaches, maintains accountability, and provides an audit trail. Ignoring the asset, attempting informal disposal, or deleting records without actually disposing of the asset leaves data unprotected and the process unverified.
