University Security Policies Look Good on Paper--But Are They? Print

The University Hospital's data security policies look good on paper.  Here they are for you to read--they are public documents our continuing investigation turned up.  But the policies are only as good as the training and diligence in following them.  How good can the policies be when the University contracts with a local storage company owned by a couple from Rancho Mirage without a well-known national reputation in security?  How good can the policies be when they rely upon a courier who (inexplicably after 18 years with the company) leave data in plain sight on the back seat of his personal vehicle parked overnight in his driveway?  How good can they be when the data was only partially encrypted?  It doesn't take a Hamlet to know that "something is rotten in the state of" Utah.
