Dod 5220.22-M/NISPOM vs. NIST 800-88 vs. IEEE 2883-2022

Evaluating standards of data destruction thumbnail

Which is the best standard for your hardware?

We all know how IT ends. But when your hardware has reached the end of its usefulness, organizations have to make hard decisions regarding their IT hardware, and data security is paramount.

The three industry standards of data destruction used by ITAD providers include DOD 5220.22-M, NIST 800-88 and IEEE 2883-2022. Though these standards are designed to ensure complete data destruction, they were designed by different organizations for different purposes. Because of the differences in the hardware they were designed to address and the groups that created them, knowing which is a best fit for your business and your hardware is vital to having an effective ITAD program.

This e-book will discuss the differences among common standards of data destruction, including:

  • Intended Audience
  • Processes Involved
  • Documentation Requirements
  • Sustainability
