Chapter 8 Sanitization
Sanitization Procedure
The following IQC5000 sanitization procedure covers data security requirements, details on nonvolatile memory
components within the architecture of the device, and instructions on how to sanitize those components of all user
data, information, and configuration settings.
Supported Products
The following Bird products are covered in the sanitization procedure:
IQC5000B
IQC-MEM
IQC5000B-S08
IQC5000B-S15
Terms and Terminology
The following terms are used in the sanitization procedure:
Erase – Removes all data on a device or partition of a device and resets the entire address space to an
erased state value
Verify – A byte by byte comparison with either a known image or against the erased state value
Nonvolatile memory – A memory device that retains information or data when the system is powered off
User accessible – The user is able to directly access or retrieve the information stored within a memory
device
User modifiable – The user can initiate a write to a memory device during normal system operation
The following terminology is used in the table in the sanitizatio
n procedure:
Data Input Methods
o Software/Firmware Operations – A combination of software and fi
rmware is used to control the type,
quantity, and value of data or information stored
o None – No method exists to collect data or store data to a device
Type of User Info Stored – Describes the type of user information stored in the device
o User data – Refers to waveforms or other measurement data repre
senting signals connected to the
instrument by users
o User settings – Refers to instrument settings that can be changed by the user
o None – No user settings or user data is stored in the device
Method of Modification – describes how data is modified
o Direct – The user can modify the data directly
o
Indirect – The IQC5000B system resources modify the data in a tightly controlled manner and that the
user cannot modify the data outside of these control boundaries
o None – No modification of this element can take place
