When disposing of an IT asset through a vendor, what documentation should be attached to the retired asset's record as proof of adherence to environmental, regulatory, and legal requirements?
- Certificate of discharge
- Certificate of decommission
- Certificate of destruction
- Certificate of disposal
- Certificate of retirement
Answer(s): D
Explanation:
When disposing of an IT asset through a vendor, the asset manager should attach a certificate of destruction to the retired asset's record.
A certificate of destruction is a document that verifies that the asset has been destroyed in a secure and compliant manner by the vendor.
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 person. 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 requirements.
