[VIDEO] Wiping devices for IT offboarding? Start here

IT offboarding of corporate endpoints is a high-risk moment. Devices change hands and sensitive data must be removed beyond recovery. Yet many organizations still rely on manual checklists, inconsistent handoffs, and ad-hoc data removal processes that leave security and compliance gaps.

In this episode of our Sanitization School series, we break down modern IT offboarding strategies and show how enterprises can standardize, automate, and secure device offboarding at scale.

Rethinking IT offboarding in the enterprise

IT offboarding is a critical part of your security and compliance posture. When devices aren’t properly erased—or when proof of erasure is incomplete—organizations expose themselves to data breaches, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage.

A mature offboarding strategy ensures that every device follows a defined, repeatable process from last login to final disposition, regardless of location, device type, or user role.

This video focuses on how organizations can:

• Securely erase employee devices in line with standards such as NIST 800-88
• Trigger data erasure automatically at key offboarding milestones
• Maintain a clear chain of custody for laptops, desktops, and mobile devices
• Generate tamper-proof erasure reports for audit and compliance needs
• Ensure devices are safe for reuse, redeployment, or return to ITAD partners

By embedding certified data erasure directly into offboarding workflows, IT teams eliminate guesswork and reduce reliance on individual operators or tribal knowledge.
