Your company stores a lot of sensitive data on DVDs for archiving purposes. You discover that there is no stated policy on the disposal of these DVDs. You must ensure that DVDs that contain sensitive information are sanitized in the most cost effective manner possible. Which policy should you recommend?
A. Incinerate the DVDs.
B. Write over the data on the DVDs.
C. Shred the DVDs.
D. Purge the data on the DVDs.
C
Explanation: You should recommend that the company adopts a policy that shreds the DVDs that contain sensitive information.
Incinerating the DVDs is not as cost effective as shredding the DVDs. Writing over or purging the data on the DVDs only works for rewritable DVDs and aren't as cost effective as shredding the DVDs.
