Diskettes, zip disks, CDs, DVDs are covered under 'Device and Media Controls.'
Determine through risk assessment if you need to encrypt or not. Encryption is addressable.
Personal opinion - non-encrypted through the mail is fairly risky (especially if sent regular mail, not express or priority). UPS/Fed-X probably a bit less risky.

Anyone have any information on how privacy/security regs affect digital PHI (on zip disk/CD/DVD) being sent via regular mail and/or UPS or FedEx.
Does the data need to be encrypted?
