* When disposing of an IT asset through a vendor, the asset manager should attach a certificate of destruction to the retired asset's record1.
* A certificate of destruction is a document that verifies that the asset has been destroyed in a secure and compliant manner by the vendor1.
* A certificate of destruction should include information such as the asset tag, serial number, model, manufacturer, date of destruction, method of destruction, and signature of the authorized person1.
* A certificate of destruction helps the asset manager to ensure that the asset is no longer in use, that the
* data on the asset is erased, and that the asset is disposed of in accordance with environmental, regulatory, and legal requirements1. References:
