What step must be performed to ensure that data cannot be reconstructed from decommissioned hard drives containing sensitive information?
Sanitization
Repurposing without modification
Degaussing SSDs
Standard formatting
Sanitization is the correct answer because it includes processes such as wiping, degaussing, or physically destroying storage media to prevent the reconstruction of data. Degaussing is not suitable for solid-state drives (SSDs), and a simple format is often incomplete as it may leave data recoverable with the right tools. Therefore, for secure decommissioning, sanitation procedures that are appropriate for the media type must be used.
