The GDPR law requires that the user must have the ability to have personal data erased and received written proof of this. The right to erasure is also known as 'the right to be forgotten'.

The NIST SP 800-88 Guidelines for Media Sanitization provide instructions to organizations on how to effectively erase storage and mobile devices in a secure and permanent way.
