Single Answer
0Alekos has been asked to downgrade the media used for storage of private data for his organization. What process should Alekos follow?
Answer Options
A
Degauss the drives, and then relabel them with a lower classification level.
B
Pulverize the drives, and then reclassify them based on the data they contain.
C
Follow the organization's purging process, and then downgrade and replace labels.
D
Relabel the media, and then follow the organization's purging process to ensure that the media matches the label.
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
If an organization allows media to be downgraded, the purging process should be followed, and then the media should be relabeled. Degaussing may be used for magnetic media but won't handle all types of media. Pulverizing would destroy the media, preventing reuse, while relabeling first could lead to mistakes that result in media that hasn't been purged entering use.
