Physical Media
Hard drives, DVDs, and other physical media that contain sensitive information must be either fully wiped (e.g. with DBAN) or destroyed. You should always remove hard drives and wipe or destroy them if they will be leaving your care. You can also deliver the media to UITSC in TAB to have UIT destroy it. For information about hard drive destruction at Tufts, contact your Information Steward.
Copiers
Some copiers, scanners, and printers may keep internal copies of the pages that have been printed or scanned by the machine. Konika Minolta-managed copiers provide a wipe function that overwrites the entire drive sector by sector. If you manage a copier, you must use this function to wipe the drive before it leaves your care. For assistance, contact Purchasing to have the service provider remove and wipe the hard drive for you.
