Preparing for an IT Audit: Getting Your Disposal Records in Order
IT audits increasingly scrutinize equipment disposal practices. This guide helps you prepare the documentation auditors expect to see for data destruction and asset disposition.
Why Auditors Care About IT Disposal
IT audits — whether internal, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or regulatory — increasingly include questions about how retired equipment is handled. A weak disposal process is an audit finding. A missing disposal process is a critical finding.
Common audit findings include: no written policy, incomplete certificates, no vendor due diligence, gaps in chain of custody, no evidence of training, and inconsistent execution.
