Annex A.8.3.1 to 8.3.3

When looking at controls in Annex A.8.3.1 to 8.3.3 regarding removable media, I cannot really understand how this is any different to the equipment mentioned in A.11.2.7 for instance. I guess both controls refer to the same objects, right? USB flash drives, CD, DVD, laptops, smartphones etc. So basically - are 8.2.3 and 11.2.7 referring to the same objects?

In your second paragraph, I’m assuming you are referring to control A.8.3.2, instead of A.8.2.3.

Considering that, please note that these controls have different coverages:

  • control A.8.3.2 (Disposal of media) focuses on the proper disposal of media that contains information, regardless it is physical or digital media.
  • control A.11.2.7 (secure disposal or reuse of equipment) focuses on the proper disposal or reuse of equipment that contains media with sensitive information.  

You can think of control A.11.2.7 as a specific application of control A.8.3.2, although these controls can be applied independently of each other.
