¶ Validating Report Correctness
After completing a data wiping operation, it's crucial to verify the authenticity and accuracy of the generated Certificate of Sanitization (Report). This step ensures compliance with data sanitization standards and provides confidence that the data erasure process was executed correctly. This documentation offers a step-by-step guide to validating the reports and confirming their authenticity.
