The correct answer is Omitting logs of disposal and sanitization actions.

Omitting logs of disposal and sanitization actions is not a recommended practice because records provide the audit trail that proves data was securely erased or destroyed and they preserve the chain of custody for retired media.

Maintaining logs also supports regulatory compliance and incident response by making it possible to verify which sanitization methods were applied to which devices and who performed the work.

Selecting sanitization techniques based on data sensitivity and media type is a recommended practice because different media and different classifications of data require appropriate methods to ensure that data cannot be recovered.

Following formal data sanitization procedures is a recommended practice because documented procedures ensure consistency, repeatability, and verifiable outcomes.

Ensuring practices comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements is a recommended practice because laws and regulations often mandate specific disposal methods and documentation to protect sensitive data and to demonstrate compliance.
