Can I use CDs or DVDs to store and transport personal and/or confidential government information?
Use of CDs and DVDs is not recommended. While there may be situations where these methods must be used for back-up (e.g. where there is no access to a network for back-up), in such situations, user should make two copies for storage in two separate secure physical locations. The files in the CDs/ DVDs need to be encrypted in a secure manner (e.g. WinZip Encryption). Any CDs/ DVDs containing GNL information should be carefully managed.
