271 11. All information, data, documents, communications, and other entries initiated on, sent to or from, or accessed on any WCSO computer, or through the WCSO computer system on any other computer, whether downloaded or transferred from the original WCSO computer, shall remain the exclusive property of the WCSO and shall not be available for personal or non-WCSO use without the expressed authorization of an employee's supervisor.
272
273 **AH 01_113 __UNAUTHORIZED USE OF SOFTWARE__**
274
275 1. POLICY:
276 11.

279 **AH 01_114 __PHYSICAL AND ELECTRONIC MEDIA PROTECTION__**
280
281 1. POLICY:
282 11. All electronic information and licensed software must be properly removed when disposing of computers and other office electronics with hard drives and other storage media devices. Unauthorized disclosure of certain information could subject the WCSO to legal liability. This procedure is designed to ensure that information technology (IT) resources do not contain confidential data or licensed software before they are transferred for reuse, donation, recycling, or destruction. The primary responsibility for sanitizing and physical destruction rests with the Information Technology branch of WCSO or their designees. This procedure applies not only to hard drives but to all other electronic storage media including, but not limited to:
283 111. Compact discs (CDs);
284 111. Digital versatile discs (DVDs);
285 111. Universal Serial Bus (USB drives); and
286 111. Other diskettes and tapes.
287 11. Studies of disk sanitization indicate that simply deleting files from the media or formatting a hard drive is not sufficient to completely erase data so that it cannot be recovered. These studies generally recommend two methods for disk sanitation:
288 111. Destruction of the media either by physical force or by electromagnetic degaussing. Physical destruction should be conducted under dual control, and documented.
289 111. Disk sanitization, overwriting of all previously stored data in compliance with NIST standards.
290
291 **AH 01_115 __TRANSPORTATION OF MEDIA AND CJI__**

Dissemination from another agency is authorized if the other agency is an authorized to disseminate such information and is being serviced by the receiving agency. WCSO personnel shall:
295 111. Protect and control electronic and physical media during transport outside of controlled areas;
296 111. Restrict the pickup, receipt, transfer and delivery of such media to authorized personnel.
297 11. WCSO personnel will control, protect, and secure electronic and physical media during transport from public disclosure by:
298 111. Use of privacy statements in electronic and paper documents;
299 111. Limiting the collection, disclosure, sharing and use of CJI;
300 111. Following the least privilege and role based rules for allowing access. Limit access to CJI to only those people or roles that require access;
301 111. Securing hand carried confidential electronic and paper documents by storing CJI in a locked briefcase or lockbox.
302
