- Use of Portable Storage Devices - in pdf format (369kb)
- (This document requires the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader). A guide to policy development. Office of the Victorian Privacy Commissioner, Edition 1 – August 2009. "Portable Storage Devices (PSDs) can be extremely useful in the workplace. Their functionality and relatively low cost means that their use is proliferating. But the very nature of PSDs presents significant problems for organisations, especially in relation to data security. They can store whole databases but they are small – so they can easily be lost. Worse, they may be unrecognisable as a PSD that can be brought into the workplace and used to store corporate data. Recently, an advertisement for a well-known brand of sunglasses announced the imminent arrival of glasses that would feature a detachable arm containing a 4GB USB key. This illustrates the difficulty of controlling the use of PSDs. The use of PSDs must be addressed because failure to do so can – and almost certainly will – result in a breach of one or more of the 10 Information Privacy Principles (IPPs) which the Victorian public sector must comply with under the Information Privacy Act 2000 (Vic). Although IPP 4 (Data Security) is an obvious principle relevant to the use of PSDs, others need to be considered such as IPP2 (Use and Disclosure), IPP 3 (Data Quality) and IPP9 (Transborder Data Flows)..."
