We unpack ISO 27001 Annex A 8.10, a control added in the 2022 update that shifts the focus from just storing data securely to destroying it permanently. We discuss why hitting the "delete" button on your computer is functionally useless for compliance, the difference between deleting a file's index vs. the actual data, and the specific methods—from disk shredding to cryptographic wiping—that auditors require.
