The feature was removed because it didn't work with solid-state storage, which most new Macs have. If you need that kind of security, use FileVault. If you have a hard drive rather than an SSD, and you're an advanced user familiar with the shell, you can use the srm command. Do so only when there's a compelling need and only if you have backups of all data. Don't try any secure-deletion method on an SSD; it doesn't work.
