Yes. So what ?
If you are one of the few that are not concerned now but in [...]
Bad assumption. I am concerned. BTDT.
the future you may be asked (or involved) in such discussions it (IMO)
is always good to have at least an idea of what is involved and the side
issues that way you can make contributions to the boss (or group). It is
usual (IMO) if you make good contribution (on the job or most places) to
the issue of data destruction you will come out ahead of the game. Quite
often in the US we have other departments that "worry" about such items
and probably the departments do not have a clue about the virtual ARRAYS
for DASD (or TAPE for that matter) and the implications for data
destruction. If you can walk away from here with at least a minimal
understanding of some of the issues you can honestly say you have
learned something new today and you (may) well be a better employee for it.
Ed,
Maybe my English is to poor or your is to rich <g>
While I understand every single word, I don't understand what's your
opinion.
I asked simple question, did not get the answer. I don't like answer
"because mama said so". I like to know why.
ps: As for the number of rewrites the DOD is probably the last word in
data destruction. Although it would be interesting to hear if HIPPAA
(sp?) has one as will.
pps: HIPPAA (sp?) is a US concern about medical information privacy I
would suspect the EU has standards as well. Off the top of my head I do
not remember if Poland is a part of the EU, it may happen in the future.
Poland is part of the EU. I have never heard about medical information
privacy regulation. We have some nation-wide information privacy codes,
but nothing "medicine-specific".
BTW: your (US) regulation is HIPAA, not HIPPAA. Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act. AFAIK established in 1996.
