Businesses must protect their digital files from scrutinizing eyes whether it’s confidential data regarding staff members and customers or deals or documents. Even even if your employees are trustworthy and well-trained mistake could result in an incident that could harm a image of a company. There are four strategies to restrict use of electronic files and prevent any data breaches:
The Administrative Office of the Courts is seeking feedback on four options that address security and privacy issues by providing remote electronic access to public case file records. The first option would maintain the assumption that all court records filed are accessible both in the courthouse and electronically, but it will restrict remote access to people who have an legitimate need for the information, including counsel, parties, court employees, and judges.
The other option allows individuals to look over and download the entire case record in the event of a legitimate need. This includes those who have been in prison for a crime, and requires an approval from a judge before granting the request for release of the information.
The third option allows the general public restricted access to specific documents that are usually found in criminal case files, like plea agreements and warrants that have not been executed. It also restricts access to certain information that identifies individuals, such as Social Security numbers and financial information. It relies on prosecutors and attorneys to protect their interests in individual cases by filing motions to block certain information or block its electronic access.
