As data center infrastructure and storage technologies evolve, securely retiring IT equipment requires more than simply deleting data or physically destroying drives. Organizations need to understand how to sanitize different storage devices, apply the appropriate standards and ensure sensitive information cannot be recovered.

In this guide, SK tes explains the roles of NIST SP 800-88r2 and IEEE 2883-2022 in modern data sanitization. Explore how the standards work together and the factors to consider when selecting the right method for your storage devices.
