Answer 9

Assessment of quality based on standards external to the process and
involves reviewing of the activities and quality control processes.

Question 10

Sanitizing

Answer 10

Series of processes that removes data, ensures data is unrecoverable by any means.
Removing a computer from service and disposed of. All storage media removed or destroyed.

Question 11

Erasing

Answer 11

Deletion of files or media, removes link to file, least effective

Question 12

Overwriting/wiping/shredding

Answer 12

Overwrites with pattern, may miss

Question 13

Zero fill

Answer 13

Wipe a drive and fill with zeros

Question 14

Clearing

Answer 14

Prepping media for reuse at same level. Removal of sensitive data from storage devices in
such a way that the data may not be reconstructed using normal system functions or utilities. May be
recoverable with special lab equipment. Data just overwritten.

Question 15

Purging

Answer 15

More intense than clearing. Media can be reused in lower systems. Removal of sensitive
data with the intent that the data cannot be reconstructed by any known technique
