SOC 2 SOC2-CC6.5: CC6.5 Protecting data on assets until disposal
Logical and physical protection over physical assets is withdrawn only once the data and software on them can no longer be read or recovered and are no longer needed. Points of focus: data and software on equipment due for disposal are identified and made unreadable; and, as revised in 2022, data and software are removed, deleted or made inaccessible on any device the organisation, its vendors or its staff own once they are no longer needed there or the device leaves the organisation's control. (Device recovery from leavers sits under CC6.4.)
This control maps to 105 controls across 23 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
You are reading one control. How much of SOC 2 have you already done?
SOC 2 SOC2-CC6.5 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of SOC 2 your existing evidence covers. Hold NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 and 49 of 61 SOC 2 controls already carry evidence.
Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 193 were rejected on the NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 pair alone.
