[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6173019, member: 8835"] Hopefully my info-dump on the nature of data handling and privacy in the medical/insurance industry is enlightening to the topic. Here's some other "did you know" info: The dairy industry has a wierd mix of very primitive tech and high tech businesses. One such major client has higher security standards than HIPPA requires. Meaning, it's harder to hack a milk ordering system/data than a medical one in some instances. The credit card industy has some of the most robust security and practices for protecting your data. To which, folks who object to the whole NSA thing or license plate camera trail recording should take a few lessons. If an agent accesses your records, it is recorded. If the agent is not actively working on a call/ticket regarding you while accessing your record, notification is sent to the InfoSec officer and you are fired. Do not pass Go. Do not get to plead with your vice president who you slept with at the last x-mas party to get some leverage on. As some one who works with data, it is VERY valuable to record everything in the event of future need (breach, CYA, evidence). It's amazing even to me that it may be possible to do real time analysis to detect a crime as it happens or terrorists working on a plot. There's too much data. But if we do record it and retain it, it is very easy after the fact, to take one data element (terrorist's cell phone # we got off his body) to then query the data to find who that phone called, and then back track who those people are, then where they went in the DMV licence plate DB and so on. We can't do that if we don't record and retain data. But that's not the same as spying on you while you snuggle your spouse while watching pirated porn via the Kinect on your xbox. The credit card company practices give a clue how to handle it. Go ahead, record everything. But nobody gets to look at it without a warrant. Lock the data down so who and what is queried is audited, and you can pretty much make sure that Officer Cuckold isn't snooping on his ex-wife's boyfriend when he has no business doing so. [/QUOTE]
