This was a great post about working with confidential documents. All of the advise you give is spot on. I have worked in this area and agree with everything you say.

One of the most effective means of not accidentally exposing confidential data is simply reducing access to the data. This includes not collecting such data if not absolutely necessary, not showing it on printed reports or computer screens, and eliminating cases where it has been historically stored in locations, both electronic and paper, where it is no longer required.

I am glad someone finally brought this up. People care to little about protecting their sesitive data. This was an excellent guide, and really opened my eyes to this issue. Thanks. - Ray J- Mobilhuset: Mobil uten abonnement

I’m not sure that people don’t care so much as people just don’t understand the dangers. We tend to take the security of our computers and files for granted, which is always a big mistake.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Ohne.

Jodith, you mentioned very good points to keep confidential electronic files confidential. Most people are not aware of the danger and I still have the feeling that people do not care as much as they should to keep electronic files save.

Very good insight into maintaining confidentiality of sensitive documentation. In fact, our company has a 10 minute induction video tutorial explaining it’s importance!

Great news is that Windows 7 has the capability of encrypting external media such as your usb drive. And, it’s backwards compatible, so you can open it on any other computer as long as you have the password.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, an encrypted USB is a must if you need to travel with confidential documents.

Another tip is to get yourself an iron key. This is a usb storage stick, but it also comes with encryption and is impossible to hack.

Hello,
I just put up an interactive encryption site called encryptiAn (my name links to that site). I created it for myself to be able to store my private data in Google notebook but then I thought that it has a lot of other uses including: encrypted emails, encrypted public chats, encrypted diaries, encrypted social site comments, etc. Of course gmail already has encryption option but it can still be read at the user’s computer. This method could keep the prying eyes completely away. Also, can you see other peoples reaction if two people use encrypted strings to chat in a public chatroom? Check it out.

Yes, I have to admit that I have a thing about sitting with my back to the room. But then, I’ve always been a bit paranoid *laughs*. In my current job I’m in a cubical, and I sit with my back to everyone. Drives me crazy.

Hi Jodith – This is fabulous advice. Like you I’ve worked with confidential docs for years. Keeping them protected is so important.

I also work with my back to the wall. I hate when someone is trying to read what I’m working on (even if it’s not confidential).
