Well, to properly erase (multiple overwrites and erase) I suppose IT would need to get the computer back for a while so it can fully complete without the employee removing the IT tool which can handle this removal.
Secondly, would you want to have a computer which your previous employer can wipe your disk at any time?
So all in all probably a good thing for both parties.
- qbasic_forever 3y agoIf it's full disk encrypted then wiping and rewiping doesn't matter as much. As soon as the keys are trashed the data might as well be all zeros. Remote wipe is the whole point, it's not a goodbye gift to the employee... it's protecting company secrets. Wipe it and tell people to trash the machine as e-waste or send it back, it doesn't matter anymore.
