IT Asset Disposal Policy and Procedure Checklist

This task involves identifying and documenting all IT assets that are to be disposed of. The goal is to ensure that no asset is overlooked during the disposal process. To complete this task, walk through each department and collect a list of IT assets that are no longer in use or are deemed to be disposable. Consider conducting a physical inventory check to verify the presence of these assets. Challenges may include locating assets that may be in storage or missing documentation. Required resources include a spreadsheet or asset management software to record the details of each asset.

In this task, ensure the secure disposal of sensitive data stored on the IT assets identified for disposal. Start by assessing the sensitivity of the data and determining the appropriate method for its destruction. This may include using data wiping software or physical destruction methods. Remember to back up any important data before starting the disposal process. Challenges may include identifying and handling encrypted or highly sensitive data. The required resources for this task include data wiping software, physical destruction equipment, and backup storage devices.
