How does your team handle secure file erasure for compliance?
by•
Been thinking about this a lot lately — most teams either rely on OS-level deletion or full-drive wipe tools, but neither really covers targeted cleanup (specific files, cloud drive residue, browser traces) for GDPR/HIPAA-style audits. Curious how others handle this in practice — is it a tooling gap, or more of a "nobody owns this process" problem in most orgs?

i like the focus on targeted erasure because that is where things can get complicated. My biggest question would be how you verify deletion from backups and synced locations without accidentally removing data that still needs to be retained.
