Recovering after a wipe

This is a security related question. Our Information Protection team is concerned about the devices that are returned to RIM for one reason or another. We always do a wipe on the device, but as we all know, nothing electronic is ever really deleted. :) Having said that, how safe is the data on a device after a wipe? Do programs exist that would do a better job of wiping the memory on a device? Do progrms exist that people can use to retrieve data from the device after a wipe? Thanks for your input on this issue.
