Retire old hardware cleanly with a log that proves each device was wiped, recycled, or resold the right way. This template helps IT and compliance teams keep an audit-ready trail from the moment an asset leaves service to its final destination.
What's Included
- Decommission record: Capture asset ID, retire date, reason, and assigned owner.
- Data sanitization log: Note wipe method, certificate number, and verification date.
- Disposal route: Track resale, donation, recycler, or e-waste vendor per device.
- Chain of custody: Record handoffs and signatures for compliance evidence.
How To Use
- Clone the template and import devices marked for retirement.
- Log the data-wipe method and attach the sanitization certificate.
- Assign a disposal route and the responsible vendor or staffer.
- Mark each asset closed once the chain of custody is complete.
Use it alongside the Hardware Lifecycle Tracker and add AI agents to flag overdue decommissions automatically.
