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 of sanitization, but it is not the overall definition, which also includes non-destructive methods. Compression is a data storage optimization technique, and encryption is a data protection method; neither constitutes data removal for disposal.
