As the security operations manager for a financial-services firm, you are reviewing procedures that apply to removable media such as USB drives, backup tapes, and retired solid-state drives. Company policy states that each device must be inventoried, labeled, stored in a locked vault when not in use, periodically inspected, and securely sanitized or destroyed at end-of-life. Which security process BEST describes this end-to-end oversight?
The described activities fall under media management, the comprehensive process of tracking, protecting, storing, transporting, and ultimately sanitizing or destroying any medium that can hold data. Effective media management ensures confidentiality, integrity, and availability by controlling who can access storage devices, where the devices reside, and how data is securely removed when the media is retired. Data encryption, access control policies, and data classification are important but each addresses only a portion of the media lifecycle rather than the complete spectrum of controls required.
