ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question

Your DevOps team is retiring a cloud-hosted microservice that stored protected health information (PHI) on provider-managed, hardware-encrypted SSD volumes. Because you cannot physically access or degauss the drives, you must satisfy NIST SP 800-88 purge requirements to ensure the data is permanently unrecoverable. Which destruction technique is most appropriate in this situation?

  • Degauss the underlying storage media to eliminate residual magnetism.

  • Issue a cryptographic erase that destroys the drive's encryption keys, rendering all stored data unreadable.

  • Delete the application files and empty the operating system's recycle bin.

  • Overwrite the entire volume once with zeros using a disk utility such as dd.
