A company needs to dispose of old hard drives containing sensitive data. To ensure the data is irretrievable, they decide to hire a third-party vendor for the job. What is the MOST important criterion the company should consider when selecting the vendor?
The most important criterion when selecting a third-party vendor for data destruction services is obtaining a certification of destruction/recycling. This ensures the vendor follows proper procedures and provides proof that the sensitive data has been securely and effectively destroyed. While specialized equipment and lower costs are important considerations, they do not guarantee compliance and verification of data destruction. Vetting the vendor also helps but having a certification serves as documented proof.
