Whether it is personal information about staff and customers or confidential business proposals or legal documents, businesses need to be able to limit access electronically stored documents to ensure that these files cannot be accessed by anyone other except those who have been granted permission to view them. This is a vital aspect of data security that helps to protect against data breaches and ensures compliance with the law such as GDPR and HIPAA.
Custom permissions can be used to increase security. Managers can control the manner in which sensitive files are printed, opened and copied by users. You can also limit the kinds of changes that can be made to documents, for example, changing the font or design. Add an examine trail to restricted files to enable administrators to track the user’s activities and identify any illegal modifications.
It is essential to establish policies for record retention for electronic files, as well as recording the destruction of these files once their usefulness is over. It is also essential to put in place measures to stop non-malicious incidents from happening, such as files being deleted accidentally by employees or being saved accidentally on unsecure devices.
Any party to a matter or any other person who is the person who is the subject of information in the case document can ask the court to limit access to that information by filing a motion or a notice of the request with the court. The motion or notice must include a statement of reasons supporting the restriction of access to public and, if the court approves the restriction, it will issue an order specifying the restrictions to be effective. Any documents or exhibits that are included in a document with restricted access must be clearly marked on the electronic cover sheet.
