August 30, 2006: “NIST is proud to announce the release of Special Publication 800-88, Guidelines for Media Sanitization. This guide is intended to assist organizations and system owners in making practical sanitization decisions based on the type of information on their system media. It does not, and cannot, specifically address all known types of media however; the described draft sanitization decision process can be applied universally to all forms of media and categorizations of information.”
