Mobile users need to protect their personal 
information from identity theft. Businesses are 
mandated by federal and state law to secure 
personal information stored in electronic 
format. 
Securing mobile storage devices has become 
a primary concern for most companies. One 
such concern involves the implication of losing a 
portable hard drive containing sensitive or personal 
customer information. Compliance legislation 
like Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA (Health Insurance 
Portability and Accountability Act) and other state 
legislation of personal information mandates the 
security of mobile devices must be considered 
when developing compliance strategies.
Compliance and portable drives
California’s SB 1386 mandates the notification of 
California residents in the event of unauthorized 
acquisition of their “personal information” that is 
stored in an electronic format. Personal information 
includes the first and last name and either a social 
security number; drivers license number, account 
number, credit or debit card number, along with the 
security codes, passwords or access codes that 
would allow access to an individual’s account. 
Fortunately, California’s SB 1386 has made 
allowances when this sensitive data has been 
encrypted; this includes data on mobile devices 
like the Aegis Padlock. If users are issued an Aegis 
Padlock for storing sensitive or personal customer 
data and the drive is lost or stolen, reporting the 
security breach is not required. 
Compliance and networks
The exposure of personal information is not limited to 
portable devices. Corporate networks are also at risk 
of unauthorized access to this information. When a 
breach of security occurs, consumers will ultimately 
lose confidence, the company suffering damage to 
their reputation and financial losses. Enterprises are 
faced with a multitude of attacks and must make 
funding decisions on how best to increase their 
security infrastructure. Therefore, security products 
like the Aegis Padlock that protect access to and 
encrypt data on portable drive should be considered 
when making budget decisions.
