Information Disposition: A Practical Guide to the Secure, Compliant Disposal of Records, Media and IT Assets

Information Disposition is the first comprehensive digest covering the wide range of issues related to protecting information at its most vulnerable point – the end of its life cycle. Policies for information disposal are often limited to one sentence, “Information shall be properly destroyed at the end of its useful life.” No wonder improperly discarded information remains one of the most overlooked areas of data protection around the world. Information Disposition contains everything one needs to know, including policies and templates, to create a state-of-the-art, compliant and secure information destruction program. This book also services as the official guide for the Certified Secure Destruction Specialist® (CSDS®) Accreditation Program.
