SCENARIO
Looking back at your first two years as the Director of Personal Information Protection and
Compliance for the St. Anne’s Regional Medical Center in Thorn Bay, Ontario, Canada, you see a
parade of accomplishments, from developing state-of-the-art simulation based training for
employees on privacy protection to establishing an interactive medical records system that is
accessible by patients as well as by the medical personnel. Now, however, a question you have put
off looms large: how do we manage all the data-not only records produced recently, but those still
on-hand from years ago? A data flow diagram generated last year shows multiple servers, databases,
and work stations, many of which hold files that have not yet been incorporated into the new records
system. While most of this data is encrypted, its persistence may pose security and compliance
concerns. The situation is further complicated by several long-term studies being conducted by the
medical staff using patient information. Having recently reviewed the major Canadian privacy
regulations, you want to make certain that the medical center is observing them.
You recall a recent visit to the Records Storage Section in the basement of the old hospital next to the
modern facility, where you noticed paper records sitting in crates labeled by years, medical condition
or alphabetically by patient name, while others were in undifferentiated bundles on shelves and on
the floor. On the back shelves of the section sat data tapes and old hard drives that were often
unlabeled but appeared to be years old. On your way out of the records storage section, you noticed
a man leaving whom you did not recognize. He carried a batch of folders under his arm, apparently
records he had removed from storage.
You quickly realize that you need a plan of action on the maintenance, secure storage and disposal of
data.
Which cryptographic standard would be most appropriate for protecting patient credit card
information in the records system at St. Anne’s Regional Medical Center?

SCENARIO
Carol was a U.S.-based glassmaker who sold her work at art festivals. She kept things simple by only
accepting cash and personal checks.
As business grew, Carol couldn't keep up with demand, and traveling to festivals became
burdensome. Carol opened a small boutique and hired Sam to run it while she worked in the studio.
Sam was a natural salesperson, and business doubled. Carol told Sam, “I don't know what you are
doing, but keep doing it!"
But months later, the gift shop was in chaos. Carol realized that Sam needed help so she hired Jane,
who had business expertise and could handle the back-office tasks. Sam would continue to focus on
sales. Carol gave Jane a few weeks to get acquainted with the artisan craft business, and then
scheduled a meeting for the three of them to discuss Jane's first impressions.
At the meeting, Carol could not wait to hear Jane's thoughts, but she was unprepared for what Jane
had to say. “Carol, I know that he doesn't realize it, but some of Sam’s efforts to increase sales have
put you in a vulnerable position. You are not protecting customers’ personal information like you
should.”
Sam said, “I am protecting our information. I keep it in the safe with our bank deposit. It's only a list
of customers’ names, addresses and phone numbers that I get from their checks before I deposit
them. I contact them when you finish a piece that I think they would like. That's the only information
I have! The only other thing I do is post photos and information about your work on the photo
sharing site that I use with family and friends. I provide my email address and people send me their
information if they want to see more of your work. Posting online really helps sales, Carol. In fact, the
only complaint I hear is about having to come into the shop to make a purchase.”
Carol replied, “Jane, that doesn’t sound so bad. Could you just fix things and help us to post even
more online?"
‘I can," said Jane. “But it's not quite that simple. I need to set up a new program to make sure that
we follow the best practices in data management. And I am concerned for our customers. They
should be able to manage how we use their personal information. We also should develop a social
media strategy.”
Sam and Jane worked hard during the following year. One of the decisions they made was to contract
with an outside vendor to manage online sales. At the end of the year, Carol shared some exciting
news. “Sam and Jane, you have done such a great job that one of the biggest names in the glass
business wants to buy us out! And Jane, they want to talk to you about merging all of our customer
and vendor information with theirs beforehand."
