This will work only if you fill the card, but works without any software investment. Just shoot at garbage until the card is full. Multiple re-formats is not necessary, just filling the card once and then re-format is sufficient. Unlike a disk drive, where previous recordings can still be extracted by sophisticated equipment, flash memory does not have a residual signature. Just re-formatting is not enough, the card needs to be re-written over.
