“Physical access to the hard disk at a later date” sounds like the threat model they have in mind is someone forgetting to drill a hole through the drives after decom, in which case I’d guess they’re asking for fde that gets unlocked at spin up/keys stored in ram?
If I were you I’d go back to the stakeholder and make them clarify that part of the requirement/what they expect it to accomplish with it and what level of inconvenience they’re willing to accept.
Yup. Thankfully management at my old job understood this, we had one quick 10 minute catchup about 30 minutes into the day every day and that was it. If a project required several meeting, they were all done as close together as possible over as few days as possible, leaving as many free full days as reasonably could be achieved. It worked really well
