Select ALL examples of potentially insecure data handling that Data Loss Prevention (DLP) may identify in a healthcare organization.
Answer
Patient data emailed in clear text., Patient data stored improperly in SharePoint or OneDrive., Patient data printed without authorization., Patient data copied to removable media.
Explanation
### Why this is right
- **Patient data emailed in clear text.** This is insecure transmission of sensitive information.
- **Patient data stored improperly in SharePoint or OneDrive.** DLP can detect policy violations involving stored data.
- **Patient data printed without authorization.** Printing is a form of handling that may violate policy.
- **Patient data copied to removable media.** Copying sensitive information to removable media is another listed risk.
### The concept
DLP is not limited to network transmission. It can detect sensitive information in motion, in use, and at rest. Healthcare data may be exposed through email, cloud storage, printing, or removable media, so policies should address each relevant use case.
### Terms
- **Removable media**: Portable storage that can be connected to or removed from a computer.
- **Clear text**: Data that is readable without decryption.
### Remember
Look for sensitive data at every point where it is sent, handled, or stored.
