QuestionQ26

Data Life Cycle Management

Which of the following is MOST important to ensure when reviewing processes related to data destruction?

  • A The destruction of data is performed on site.
  • B The destruction of data is witnessed.
  • C The destruction is performed by a certified provider.
  • D The destruction method is approved by the data owner.
Explanation

The data owner must approve the destruction method so it meets the data’s sensitivity, classification, retention obligations, and required level of irrecoverability. Location, witnessing, and provider certification may support assurance, but they do not ensure that the method itself is appropriate.
