Businesses must protect their electronic documents from public scrutiny whether it’s confidential data about staff and customers, deals or documents. Even if employees are well-trained and reliable but it’s only a slight error to lead to an embarrassing data breach that could damage a company’s reputation. Fortunately, there are four strategies to restrict use of electronic files and prevent any data breaches:
The Administrative Office of the Courts has sought comment on four options to address privacy and security concerns in providing remote public access to case file records. The first option would maintain the presumption that all court records filed are accessible both at the courthouse and electronically, but it will restrict remote access to people who have a legitimate need for information, including counsel, parties, court employees and judges.
The second option allows a person to view and download all information from the case record, however only when they have a valid need. This includes those who have been convicted of a crime and a judge must also approve the request to release information.
The third option gives the general public restricted access to certain documents that are routinely contained in criminal case files, such as plea agreements and warrants that have not been executed. It also restricts the public’s access to certain identifying information, such as Social Security Numbers and financial information. It is based on the power of prosecutors and their attorneys to protect their interests in specific cases by requesting to block or seal certain information from electronic access.
