It does a good job but due to data remanence information can remain on the drive even after something like the LIC scratch. Granted, recovering that data is not for the faint of heart and not all that easy with commercially available tools but it can be reconstructed. That's exactly why things like DOD 5220.22-m exist or that you are seeing legislation in this area (RFPA, SOX, HIPAA, SERPA, etc.). I would highly suggest that companies look at what their legal responsibility is for decommissioned systems and drives as well as those replaced by service.

Don't get me wrong, it would be (IMHO) prohibitively expensive to do so but not theoretically impossible. After a DOD level scrub it becomes even more difficult to do so although, at least according to the DOD, still not impossible. This is why disks that have ever contained 'top secret' data must *ALWAYS be physically destroyed. - Larry Al Barsa wrote:
