Please confirm whether your organisation holds any recorded evidence of the outcome, namely evidence that the data on a specific storage device is irrecoverable following erasure, rather than confirmation that the erasure process was executed.
Please confirm:
1. Do the IT asset disposal certificates, supplier forms, or related contractual terms held by your organisation constitute an explicit outcome‑based warranty or guarantee that the personal data on each specific storage device has been rendered irrecoverable as a final data state, or do they primarily confirm that a certified erasure process was followed?
We receive certification from our trusted supplier of the completed recycling process in line with waste hierarchy and current UK and EU legislation.
2. Beyond reliance on supplier accreditation, recognised standards including but not limited to ADISA certification, ISO accreditation, HMG IA standards, or confirmation that an erasure process was completed, does your organisation hold any recorded, device‑specific documentation evidencing independent verification, testing, or validation that the data on the particular storage media processed has been rendered irrecoverable in practice?
No.
