Sanitization refers to the thorough removal of data from storage devices to prevent data retrieval and unauthorized access after the device is disposed of or repurposed. Physically destroying the device is an extreme form but not the definition of sanitization, which focuses more on data removal. Compression and encryption are data protection methods that do not involve data removal for disposal.
