Study Notes
Secure Record Management
- Sensitive legal records must be protected from unauthorized access.
- Physical storage requires secure cabinets.
- Digital storage needs encryption and strong cybersecurity measures.
Decision Point 1: Storage Method
-
Option A: Store documents in a locked physical cabinet.
- Consequence: Reduces risk of cyber theft but poses risk of physical theft or damage (e.g., fire).
-
Option B: Store documents in an encrypted digital format.
- Consequence: High security and easy access, but requires robust cybersecurity measures.
Decision Point 2: Physical Storage Enhancement
- Option A1 (if choosing physical storage): Enhance physical security with additional locks and fireproof cabinets.
- Option A2 (if choosing physical storage): Transition to digital storage with encryption and physical storage as a backup.
Decision Outcome
- Choice: Encrypted digital storage with physical backups.
- Implementation: Strict access controls and regular security audits.
