CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 69

A security administrator is reissuing a former employee's laptop. Which of the following is the best combination of data handling activities for the administrator to perform? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Data retention
• B. Certification
• C. Destruction
• D. Classification
• E. Sanitization
• F. Enumeration

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

The best actions to take are 'Certification' and 'Sanitization'. Certification ensures that the device meets security standards, while sanitization effectively removes all sensitive data. Other options like destruction, classification, and enumeration do not specifically address the need to securely prepare the laptop for a new user.
