How was the process governed so that drives actually were wiped before going out the door? That’s really the challenge, the humans managing the kit are the weakest link. I do like the comment about drives only able to depart the premises through a shredder.

I think it was just governed by some IT policy which was basically, "no bare hard drives leaves the IT room".

The people who literally shredded the hard drives would give us the literal bits back.

It's kind of nutty but information is the life blood of hedge funds.
