Taking reasonable measures absolutely does absolve the company. At that point, it becomes a rogue employee who’s deliberately circumvented policies and technical enforcements, who is now potentially personally liable.

It’s garbage, but hey ho.

Fair enough, they did "try", but still feels equivalent to putting sensitive documents in a glass frame with a "no photos please" label on it and then claiming you did everything you could to protect them. I can't imagine that would fly in court, but I guess as soon as computers are involved, all common sense is lost.
