~3-page information security policy template on the disposal of information.
 
At the end of its lifecycle, redundant information must be disposed of in such a manner that subsequent inappropriate access is prevented.  For sensitive content (both personal data and proprietary information), this is best achieved by secure deletion and/or physical destruction of the storage media.
 
This template complements the policy on information retention.
