Hi list! To encrypt or not to encrypt, that is the quandary!
We are a Health Care provider in Washington State. One of our vendors has 'given' us some 'free' (ha-ha....no such thing as a etc etc) data encryption software. Questions have been asked by management as to 'do we need to use it'. Make the assumption that the additional cycles required would not be a problem. Our auditors, legal folk, and managers have not been able to give us a definitive answer as to requirements. I also understand that state and federal requirements may be different, but am trying to get a feel for this. What generally is the approach of others with respect to data tapes sent for stored offsite. Do you encrypt data on tapes destined for offsite secure locations ? (yes or no) If so, to what extent ? (all or some) If you are able to respond, I would appreciate the feedback.
