Sanitize media to NIST SP 800-88, without turning the guidelines into controls yourself.
Every practice handed to you as an adopt-ready control, from the sanitization policy and decision flow through clear, purge and destroy to verification, documentation and chain of custody, with the evidence an assessor examines.
Sanitization-ready in a weekend, not a quarter.

Here is the honest situation. NIST SP 800-88 is the standard for sanitizing media so that information cannot be recovered before media is reused, transferred or disposed of. It calls for a policy and roles, categorizing the confidentiality of the data, deciding clear, purge or destroy based on the data and whether the media leaves your control, applying the right technique per media type, verifying the result, documenting each action with a certificate, maintaining chain of custody, and governing third-party disposal. Doing that and evidencing it is real work, and an organization that deletes files and calls it sanitization, or treats a solid state drive like a hard drive, is exactly where organizations fall short.

This Kit removes the guesswork. It is every NIST SP 800-88 practice written as an adopt-ready control you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence an assessor examines.

What you get, the moment you buy

18
Practices as adopt-ready controls. Every NIST SP 800-88 practice, from the policy and decision flow through clear, purge and destroy, verification, documentation and chain of custody, written so you personalize and apply it.
18
Evidence-they-examine checklists. For each control, exactly what an assessor examines, plus where organizations fall short, so you close the gap first.
1
Media Sanitization Control Matrix, pre-built. Every practice in a working spreadsheet, ready to record status, owner and evidence location.
1
Gap & Readiness Assessment. Score each practice and the workbook returns your readiness as a single percentage, and exactly what to fix next.

Grounded in NIST SP 800-88 (Guidelines for Media Sanitization), with the policy and roles, the confidentiality categorization and decision flow, the clear, purge and destroy methods, verification, documentation and chain of custody, and coverage across media types called out. Editable Word and Excel files.

Clear, purge, destroy is a decision, not a default
The common failure is treating all media the same, deleting files, or wiping a solid state drive as if it were a spinning disk. NIST SP 800-88 makes the choice of clear, purge or destroy a decision driven by data confidentiality and whether the media leaves your control, and it requires verification. This Kit builds the decision, method and verification controls with the evidence an assessor asks for.

What one control looks like

This is establishing the media sanitization policy, where the practice begins. All 18 are built to this depth.

SP80088-1 Establish a media sanitization policy POLICY
Implement this control

Establish and approve a media sanitization policy for [your organization name] that requires the sanitization of media before reuse, transfer, donation, return or disposal, aligned to the confidentiality of the information, and document it, so that media is not released with recoverable data and the organization can evidence its policy as NIST SP 800-88 recommends.

Practitioner note.

NIST SP 800-88 frames sanitization as a policy-driven process.

Evidence an assessor examines
  • The approved media sanitization policy
  • The scope of media covered
  • Management approval records
Common finding they raise: Media is disposed of or reused with no sanitization policy.

Why this is not another template pack

  • The evidence is the point. Sanitization you cannot evidence is a data-leak risk. This tells you what an assessor examines and where organizations fall short, for every practice.
  • Decision, method and verification built in. The clear, purge and destroy decision, the media-appropriate methods and the verification are written into the controls, the substance of the guidelines.
  • Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
  • It compounds. NIST SP 800-88 supports the NIST CSF, 800-53 media protection and privacy disposal duties, so this work feeds your wider security and privacy program.

Who buys this

IT asset management, security and operations teams disposing of or reusing media, and the leads who own media sanitization, plus service providers who sanitize on their behalf. Whether it is a first policy or an audit readiness pass, you save weeks and walk in with the decision flow, methods and records structured.

By the end of the weekend you will have
✓  An adopt-ready control for all 18 practices
✓  A completed media sanitization control matrix
✓  The evidence an assessor examines
✓  Your decision flow, methods and verification in place
✓  A readiness percentage and a fix list
✓  The file-delete and SSD gaps closed

Common questions

Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.

Does it cover clear, purge and destroy? Yes. Each of the three sanitization categories, and cryptographic erase, is built as a control.

Does it cover verification? Yes. Verifying the sanitization and the tools before releasing media is built as a control.

Does it cover certificates and custody? Yes. Documenting each action with a certificate and maintaining chain of custody are built as controls.

What if it is not for me? A 30-day money-back guarantee.

Do not call a file delete sanitization.
Every NIST SP 800-88 practice is fast to adopt with the Kit. It is instant, and it is guaranteed.
Add it to your cart and be sanitization-ready this weekend.
