In finance-tech and that's the way it is for us. I once embarked on a hopeless journey to get some old laptops piled up in the IT space, for an elementary school programming club. They would not sell or donate them despite them being perfectly useful laptops, even with the drives removed. I suppose they were worried about RAM?

There is a lot of NVRAMs in devices these days that could store potential secrets. Even things like wireless cars and internal USB devices. Another good example of this is laptops, such as Apple laptops with the SSD soldered on board.

You can either make hundreds of policies that discover where all this data is, or you make one policy that destroys everything.

I know which one has the least risk.
